The design of the Semi pendant light was created by Danish designers Claus Bonderup and Torsten Thorup. They have created a light source that is characterised by its classic form and a very atmospheric lighting effect, which makes Semi ideal for general room lighting and especially for use above a table. The harmonious design in a concave, upwardly tapering form can be harmonised with many furnishing styles. The two designers Claus Bonderup and Torsten Thorup have been working together since graduating from the Danish School of Architecture in 1969. They initially joined the office of architect Henning Larsen. Since then, Bonderup and Thorup have designed clocks and shop interiors for Georg Jensen, the Arcticum Museum (Finland) and were responsible for the harbour facilities in Elsinore, from urban planning to the ferry terminal - high-quality product from Danish manufacturer Gubi.
The GUBI Semi pendant light in Cream is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a timeless lighting solution with a harmonious aesthetic. Its key benefit is providing atmospheric, general room lighting, especially effective above dining tables or work surfaces. A potential caveat is its classic design, which may require consideration within highly contemporary or minimalist decor schemes. This pendant features a concave, upwardly tapering form created by Danish designers Claus Bonderup and Torsten Thorup.
