NO. 1 Oak

To create a space of presence, a space for friends and family to see each other. That was the goal for Morten Mernøe when designing the ceiling light titled NO. 1. A light for the heart of every family, the dining table. Crafted by hand, the design bears strong roots to the design heritage of Denmark, while pushing the classic design aesthetic into the 21st century.

Today MERNØE is a family-based lighting company run by Morten Mernøe and his two sons Jakob and Ulrik. From their atelier in Copenhagen, Denmark, this family trio engineers and produces lighting with a design testament to the juxtaposition of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology, using classic materials and techniques, while incorporating modern LED technology.

NO. 1 is made from a solid, carefully selected, sustainable sourced piece of wood, which is meticulously turned into a thin lamp shade. Each shade is then sanded and treated with beeswax by hand. The light is mounted with brass fittings, each milled from a solid piece of brass, which is then polished and surface treated to compliment the wood.

The lamp shade is available in Sipo Mahogany, Oak, Ash, and Walnut with polished, matte, or chrome-plated solid brass hardware
