Gubi Semi Pendant Luminaire

The Semi Pendant is a unique pendant lamp, based on two quarter circles joined together, back to back. Its distinctive arc-shaped enamelled metal shade creates a diffused, cone-shaped light, ideal over a dining table or kitchen work surface.

The Semi Pendant was designed in 1968 as a product of the creative partnership between Claus Bonderup and Torsten Thorup. Reacting to the soft organic shapes, the so-called welcoming era, that dominated Denmark at the time, Bonderup and Thorup wanted to create a lamp that incorporated crisp, clean lines and a geometric shape. In the 1980s, the pendant achieved great success and became, at that time, the best-selling Danish design and gained worldwide recognition and iconic status.
