Spec Sheet

Description

Semi emerged in 1968 from the creative partnership between Claus Bonderup and Torsten Thorup, as a corrective to the cliched cozy image of Nordic style. They wanted to create a lamp with sharply clean lines and, after recognition from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, it went on to become a Danish best-seller in the ‘80s. The arch-shaped metal shade, in a selection of enameled tones, creates a diffused cone of light. Ideal over a dining table or kitchen work surface.

Design is an unceasing continuum, believes this Danish house, now owned by a second generation. Owner and creative director Jacob Gubi Olsen inherited the helm from his parents Gubi and Lisbeth Larson, who founded the business to showcase their postmodern furniture. Under Jacob’s watch, Gubi added a global focus to its roots in Copenhagen, with a cosmopolitan array of furniture, lighting and interior objects.

Alongside 20th Century icons such as Robert Dudley Best and Greta Magnusson-Grossman, the design house has championed a new wave of design studios including GamFratesi, Space Copenhagen and OeO Studio. “I started out with two very strong designs, Bestlite—a Bauhaus collection designed in 1930—and Gubi Chair, designed in 2003. I felt they had something in common,” says Jacobs. “Iconic appearance, functional design, high quality, aesthetic design language and adaptable for many different kinds of interiors. I took these values as a guideline for any new designs added to the collection ever since.”
