2019: Flindt Wall wins Danish Design Award

The Flindt Wall lamp was the winner of the Danish Design Award 2019 in the 'Feel Good' category. Flindt Wall is designed by Christian Flindt and is perfectly fit for indoor as well as outdoor. The jury said: “This is a literally brilliant example of a functional and beautiful product solving, in a sublime way, what it is supposed to do. The lamp is multifunctional, powerful and can be used indoors and outdoors. It hardly intrudes at all into the surrounding space. Design is more than just form, but this is a reminder of the importance of form. The Flindt Wall is immediately familiar and easily recognisable. This is hard to achieve.”
