A design classic
”It’s like a big boulder, Anders!” a friend of designer Anders Pehrson is believed to have said, when he saw the new pendant lamp at the lighting exhibition in Gothenburg in 1968. The lamp was bulky, British racing green and 60 cm in diameter.
This was the birth of Bumling, a Swedish design classic. During the 1970s, a whole range of Bumling lamps was launched. Table, floor and wall versions, alongside many variations on the original pendular Bumling and the outdoor versions.
Material & design
Glans, precision och karaktär
Bumlingen känns igen på sin högblanka finish, noggrant svarvade detaljer och vitlackerade insida. Den smala öppningen i toppen ger ett subtilt och väl avvägt ljusutsläpp – ett signum sedan 1968.
Louvre
Glare control, sized right
Bumling Ø400 mm comes with a plastic louvre for glare reduction. The larger Ø600 mm version is available with either a plastic louvre or an opal acrylic diffuser – two expressions, one iconic shape.
