Designed by Friis & Moltke in 1954, the FM1954 pendant is a masterclass in minimal design. Complementing its
clean, round lines are two new FSC certified walnut and oak veneer finishes, which succeed in awarding the
timeless design with a warmer, more natural aesthetic.
Thanks to the unique characteristics and pattern of the natural veneer finish, each pendant is awarded with its
very own sculptural character.

Knud Friis (1926-2010) and Elmar Moltke Nielsen (1924-1997) founded Friis & Moltke in 1954.
In the 1960s they introduced Danes to their mild version of Brutalism, which often featured huge, robust building
structures tucked into the landscape, raw concrete walls and visible technical installations.
Knud Friis and Elmar Moltke Nielsen had a unique creative partnership and their groundbreaking projects both in
Denmark and abroad made a decisive impact on Danish architecture.
The two partners worked together on virtually all the buildings, in which their joint practice was involved.
