Behind the design: Britt Kornum, architecture student from Aarhus
The Norm 03 lamp shade originally took shape in Britt Kornum's hands and was hung above her dining table. After much encouragement from her friends and acquaintances, Britt eventually contacted Normann Copenhagen. We fell for the shade straight away, thanks to of its organic and very alive-looking form. When the lamp is turned on it casts a shadow on the ceiling that reinforces the 'alive' impression. Two long foil strips fold in and out of each other in a snake-like pattern, creating, in their own way, order from chaos.

Norm 03 kindles memories of the sixties, and that story attracted us a great deal. What's more, we felt that it fitted well into the rest of our collection. Norm 03 is another customer-assembled product that is easy and straightforward to use; and this is an important factor, as it is the user that has the final say.

Norm 03 is supplied in a flat pack without a socket or electrical parts, so it is compatible with any electrical standards around the world.

It was awarded the Formland Award 2003, and was nominated in the 'Best Item' category at Imm Cologne 2004.
