Story
From a Norwegian town to a post top
Mads Odgård designed the LP Icon in 1999 for the small Norwegian town of Flaa. He was asked for a reflector-based light inspired by classic, simple forms but with a modern expression, and based the design on a hemisphere and a cylinder.
The opaque shade
The post top has been widely used over the years and has been through several technical upgrades to keep it up to date with performance and technology requirements. LP Icon Opaque differs from LP Icon by a lightproof shade that blocks upward light and thus protects the dark night sky.
