Danish lighting designer Mads Caprani's dis-
tinctive and disruptive vision of what a lamp
could look like has echoed through the ages.
Although he did not initially set out to become
a designer, Caprani’s curiosity, ambition,
natural talent, and determination to seize any
opportunities that came his way, ensured that
he was destined to make a permanent mark
on the story of 20th-century design.
From a small Danish company, Mads turned
Caprani Light into a global name, setting up
branches across Europe and even in Chicago
and Wisconsin in the US. Of all Caprani
Light’s products, it was the Timberline Floor
Lamp that fulfilled Mads’ ambition and
secured his legacy. A unique, sinuous, and
striking design somehow both quintessentially
1970s and utterly timeless in its aesthetic, the
Timberline Floor Lamp was an instant best-
seller, becoming known around the world
simply as ‘the Caprani Lamp’.
