Apex by Hay

The Apex lamp by Hay was one of four contemporary classics shown at 3 Days of Design in Copenhagen

British designer John Tree has reinvented the quintessential banker’s lamp for Hay. Available as a desk or table lamp — with clip variations of both — Apex is rigorously streamlined yet intuitively functional. Alongside emerald, five additional colourways are offered. ”Banker’s lights were always green. I don’t know why!” says Tree. “With Apex, I wanted colour to remain a
central part of the design.”

Introduced in 1956, Hans Olsen’s beloved dining chair is emblematic of comfortable, unfussy Danish modernism. And thanks to six vivid colourways (and new upholstery options) by Swiss Argentine maestro Alfredo Häberli, the Warm Nordic classic feels thoroughly reinvigorated, with hues that “emphasize and intensify the quality of what is already there,” says Häberli.

Plush by dk3

When designing this dining table, dk3 founder Jacob Plejdrup favoured soft, organic shapes that emphasize the grain and texture of wood. Slender, solid wood tabletops (available in oak, smoked oak or walnut, and offered in two sizes) draw the eye to their natural beauty while creating an elegant contrast to the thick, sculptural legs below.

Inspired by the intricate tulip arrangements seen at Italian flower markets, Sinja Svarrer Damkjær adapted floral forms into delicately pleated, hand-folded paper luminaires — a signature of Denmark’s Le Klint. Initially introduced as a collection of chandeliers, the Bouquet series recently expanded to include table and desk lamps, which support the paper flower with a gracefully curved stem.
