CADOVIUS FLOWER LAMP RS50
Design by Poul Cadovius, 1968
Award-winning shelving systems, chairs, and fiberglass components. These are
just a few of many products developed through the years by the famous Danish
designer Poul Cadovius. In 1968, he could also add lamps to his impressive list
of products and inventions, when launching the extraordinary and decorative
FLOWER LAMP.
The FLOWER LAMP is not a lamp in the original sense of the word. It is more a
decoration - a small installation and decorative way to light up your plants and
flowers. Poul Cadovius had an exceptional skill to foresee future consumer needs
based on current trends, and he often used this ability when designing new
products. In the 1960s, many people used lamps in the garden to light up the
flowerbeds, and with the launch of the FLOWER LAMP, Poul Cadovius made it
possible to convert this trend to indoor use.
The construction of the lamp is quite simple. It consists of two aluminium
bowls connected by four steel pins, where the lower bowl works as a flowerpot
illuminated by the light from the upper bowl. A simple yet brilliant idea. Now, dk3
is relaunching the FLOWER LAMP RS50 model in anodized aluminium. The revival
of this wonderful lamp hits right into the current trend of hanging up plants and
flowers, uniting flower power vibes from the 60s with modern interior design.
