That is what I see in Danish lighting. The light bulb is not a new invention, neither are light fixtures or lamps. But pioneers decided they could make light better and that is just what Poul Henningsen did. He made the existing product-light-better. The name of that light is the HP Lamp and after the better part of half a century no one has been able to improve upon his design. It was so elegant and yet so simple that there was absolutely no room for improvement. That is type of ingenuity and plain out work ethic that I find so fascinating among Danish artisans.

For some, it is hard to get all that excited about Danish lighting or any other lighting for that matter. But when you consider it together with grand picture of Danish artistry and architecture, you have to admit that their lighting is rather brilliant (no pun intended). In keeping with the modern tone that Danish artisans generally add to their work with clean lines and simple patterns, the lighting created by Danish craftsmen not only carry this theme into their work with lighting, they make it shine.

By using white for shades and fixtures, Danish lighting allows the eye to rest on other points of interest in the room. Never stealing attention from the items within the room that require additional attention and dedication. Part of the amazing beauty of Danish architecture is the attention to detail, the way the lines flow cleanly from room to room and item to item. No one piece of furniture steals the show or claims attention that should otherwise be dedicated to an integral artistic or architectural feature.

By allowing the eyes to rest easy within the room, Danish lighting helps to maintain a clean and uncluttered appearance throughout the room and home. The light features and lighting in and of themselves are inconspicuous. Once you notice them, they become a point of interest but they do not immediately draw the eye. They are neither busy nor assuming and that assists in the façade of a clean room. The features of the room won’t exhaust you; rather you will have the attention needed to focus on the important things in the room: the people with whom you are sharing the room.

By removing some of the clutter and they eye catchers from a room, you allow a more comfortable open feeling. In other words, you create an atmosphere of openness by using the clean lines of Danish furniture along with simple, elegant Danish lighting.

• When one thinks of modern furniture it virtually impossible not to think of Danish modern furniture, the Danish have been defining modern furniture for the better part of at least half a century and are showing no signs of fatigue on that front. What this means for the rest of the world is that we are playing catch up. The supreme irony is that while we are playing catch up for the modern edge, Danish designers are improving on the furniture designs from other countries.
• One can hardly think of Danish lamps without thinking of the world famous PH Lamps. These lamps are famous because they combine form and function, in traditional Danish character, to create a lamp that provides the perfect glare free light. Poul Henningsen created what many believe is the perfect light. Originally it was meant to be a multi-shaded lamp. The genius of these lamps is that they are bright enough that people can work by them without creating the glare that makes such work problematic.
• Adding rustic lighting fixtures or lamps to a room is a relatively inexpensive way to add that cozy, quaint, lodge-like atmosphere to your room. Properly used, lighting and light fixtures can have a massive effect on the overall look of a room. From a warm glow cast by frosted glass and dimmer bulbs to bright and open lighting that is made all the brighter by clear glass globes and brighter, higher wattage light bulbs you can change the total ‘glow’ of a room by simply changing a light fixture.
• Of all the fads that have come and gone, rustic décor has for many years been a mainstay among many homes in America. There is something intimate, congenial, and comfortable about the rough-hewn look of a log cabin in the woods that appeals to those from all walks of life and economic statuses. There is no one size fits all with rustic furnishing nor is his or her one piece that is more significant than any other.
• Modern tables, while not all that different in construction from antique tables, have gained tremendous respect as pieces of artwork as well as functional pieces. Modern tables use angular lines and dramatic shapes to bring the pieces to ‘life’, and using modern space-saving techniques have found a permanent place in the home of many contemporary homes.
