Claus Bonderup & Torsten Thorup
BT LIGHTING SERIES
1970
Originally created in the late 1960s, the BT Lighting Series was designed by Danish architects Claus
Bonderup and Torsten Thorup. Three designs, different in size and shape but united by their stylish
simplicity and a common feature: a half-mirror light bulb peeking out from under the lamp shades.
Revealing the light source in all of the designs was a conscious choice for Bonderup and Thorup. As
such, the sleek pendants acquire further visual appeal, while the half-mirror bulb reflects the light onto
the white interior of the shades, creating indirect lighting.
