Description from the seller

GUBI – Large Danish Pendant Lamp – Design by Bonderup & Thorup – Chrome UFO – Ø48 cm – 1970s

⸻

Description

Large Danish pendant lamp designed by Bonderup & Thorup and produced by GUBI in Denmark, dating from the 1970s.

The lamp features a striking UFO-shaped chrome exterior combined with a white interior reflector, a design language strongly associated with Scandinavian Space Age and modernist lighting of the period. The generous diameter gives the lamp a strong sculptural presence, while the white interior provides effective downward light.

A classic example of Danish design from GUBI’s golden era, suitable both as a statement piece and functional lighting in modern, mid-century and contemporary interiors.

Condition

Good vintage condition with visible signs of age and use.
The chrome surface shows light scratches and marks consistent with age.
The white interior shows signs of wear and surface marks.
No structural damage.
