  Historical Overview:

  The Safari pendant was designed in the late 1970s and formally released in 1981, a year it earned the prestigious iF Product Design Award. It represents a transition in Danish lighting from the mid-century "Golden Age" to a more technical, late-modernist aesthetic. While it shares the multi-shade principles popularised by Poul Henningsen, the Safari used more industrial production methods and materials, solidifying Christian Hvidt's reputation as a key figure in modern industrial product design.

  
  

  Piece Description:

  The pendant is characterised by its sculptural, layered construction, engineered to provide entirely glare-free light.

  It consists of three graduated, powder-coated aluminum shades held together by discrete nickel-plated or steel rods.

  The top shade features a distinct perforated dome or hemisphere. These tiny perforations allow a soft "spill" of ambient light to escape upward, illuminating the fixture itself and preventing a dark ceiling.

  
  

  The original ceramic socket within the assembly reflects the high-quality Danish manufacturing standards of the era. A new cord at requested length will be attached when sold.
