When traveling cities such as Paris, Barcelona and New York, Norm. Architects Kasper Rønn and Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen were fascinted by the street lamps; the characteristic cast iron top - looking a bit like a hat with a semi transparent glass sphere at the base. Back in the studio Kasper and Jonas detached the street lamp from its original use and transferred the shape and combination of materials in order to design an outstanding, indoor pendant – the Mass Light. The pendant was first launched in brown  marble and glass as the two architects were keen on creating a lamp made from natural stone, which can withstand everyday use. The unusual use of solid marble for a lamp gives an exceptional sense of quality and durability. Later, two other quality materials were added to the range in the form of copper and brass.

The body of the pendant is made from
milled and polished marble or spunn &
polished metal (brass or copper). The brass
and copper versions are polished but not
lacquered so the metal will darken and
patinize over time. The glass shade is made
from mouth-blown and acid-etched opal
glass.
