Story
From 1963 to 2025
Finn Juhl (1912-1989) designed very few lamps, and this pendant is among them. He drew it in 1963, and Louis Poulsen brought it back in 2025 under the FJ Elements name, with the original two-toned grey colourway included.
Centrepiece
The pendant is the main piece of the FJ Elements series. Juhl made hand sketches of it that show how it is built, in what proportions, and what the wider series was meant to be.
