PAINT ON LUXO L-1
What happens when a Norwegian design classic meets Magne Furuholmen?
For Magne Furuholmen, his relationship with the Luxo L-1 began long before this project. He has collected older versions of the lamp and got his first L-1 around 20 years ago, when he was looking for a good work lamp for his studio.
This year, they meet again at Skøyen Design Festival.
Magne created this year’s colour palette for the festival and, using the palette as his starting point, has also put his own artistic mark on a Luxo L-1. The result is a unique Limited Edition by Magne Furuholmen. The lamp will be the prize for one lucky participant in our Paint on Luxo L-1 concept, where we invite visitors to paint 90 blank L-1 lamp heads.
Why 90?
In 2027, the L-1 turns 90. We want to use Skøyen Design Festival as an opportunity to look ahead and invite Norwegian designers, architects, artists and the public to join the conversation about what the L-1’s 90th anniversary collection should become.
We invite you to paint and join the conversation. Come and put your own mark on the L-1 – and tell us what you think its next expression should be.
As Magne says:
«Det er på høy tid at Norsk design løftes frem» / «It’s time to shine a light on Norwegian design»��
