The 1980s has something of an

ill-deserved reputation for design.

There might be some things we’d

like to forget, but the decade

also produced some quite lovely

modern classics – including the

handmade ‘Swing VIP’ lamp, by

the late Jørgen Gammelgaard

for Pandul, from 1983.

Made from aluminium and steel,

the lamp has a multi-adjustable

shade, which increases the way it

can be used and lends the product

several identities. The shade is

hand made in aluminium, the arm

is brushed stainless steel and it

comes in black or white.

Gammelgaard started out as

a cabinetmaker, before studying

at the Danish Royal Academy,

where he worked under Poul

Kjærholm and Ole Wanscher,

and was later appointed professor

of design. He went on to work in

the studios of Arne Jacobsen,

Mogens Koch, Steen Eiler

Rasmussen and Jørgen Bo.

Gammelgaard and Pandul had

a fruitful collaboration – they first

worked together in 1971 on the

TipTop lamp series, inspired by

his time working in Samoa for the

United Nations.

The collection also includes floor,

wall and mini versions – all of which

have the same multi-adjustable

head – and in 1985 he designed

the last piece, the ‘VIP Table’ lamp,

which was immediately recognised

for its architectural qualities.

The collection, including the

‘Swing VIP’, is still in production

today, albeit with minor tweaks and

improvements over the years. It’s

an enduring design, both classic

and functional.
