Lighting 101 Copenhagen: the guide to choosing your design model well

When lighting becomes sculpture: the 101 Copenhagen approach

At 101 Copenhagen, each creation goes beyond the role of lighting to become a structuring element of the space. The design is inspired by modernist currents and Japanese minimalism to create pieces with mastered balance, between graphic lines and raw materials.
The 101 Copenhagen Drop Chandelier collection embodies this approach: modular arms, opaline spheres, and architectural silhouette compose a light designed to structure a volume or stage a large table. Blown glass, brushed brass, or crystallized marble are materials chosen for their ability to reflect or soften light.

Which 101 Copenhagen light for which use?

Each piece in the 101 Copenhagen collection corresponds to a specific use. Pendant, wall sconce, or table lamp: each type has its role in the layout and enhancement of the space.

Pendant: structuring the space

To delimit a dining table or dress a high ceiling, the Kumo pendant deploys a play of modular arms and opaline spheres with a strong graphic effect. The No.2 model, more compact, adds a touch of elegance to a kitchen or hallway. These pieces are ideal for any project seeking a design living room light with a strong visual presence.

Wall sconce: highlighting or framing a volume

Fixed near a mirror, a headboard, or in a hallway, a 101 Copenhagen wall sconce allows working with indirect light. Their geometric shapes, often in brushed metal or textured ceramic, create subtle shadow plays. This type of lighting is perfect for adding depth to a wall or marking a circulation space.

Floor lamp: anchoring a living room or reading corner

The 101 Copenhagen floor lamps fit into a sofa corner or behind an armchair. Their slender structure and opaline glass shade create enveloping light, ideal for an intimate atmosphere in the living room or bedroom.

Table lamp: discreet accent on a shelf or desk

Design and rechargeable, the Beetle lamp stands out with its chromed dome and crystallized marble feet. On a desk, console, or bookshelf, it becomes a design auxiliary light that diffuses soft light while bringing a bold decorative note.

Create a design atmosphere with 101 Copenhagen

To succeed in a harmonious project, it is essential to compose a coherent atmosphere around the principles dear to 101 Copenhagen: minerality, clear geometries, and muted palette. The brushed brass, bronze, or polished silver tones find a subtle echo in the finishes of the 101 Copenhagen lights, allowing to create a visual thread in the space.

101 Copenhagen: an elegant solution for professional projects

Designed to appeal to discerning individuals, the 101 Copenhagen collection also meets the requirements of B2B lighting projects. Its assertive design, quality materials, and coherent range make it an ideal solution for public spaces: hotels, restaurants, offices, or reception areas.

Pendants like Drop or No.2 provide real staging in a lobby or above a counter. Floor lamps or sconces allow structuring relaxation or reading areas with precision. Refined finishes, sculptural geometries, complete range: 101 Copenhagen lights allow creating a strong visual signature while remaining easy to integrate into projects with varied identities.

Our tips for choosing a 101 Copenhagen light

• Check the dimensions: pieces are sometimes large and require an adapted space to fully express themselves.
• Pay attention to the bulb type: some references work with E14 or E27 sockets, others integrate a non-replaceable LED source directly.
• Adapt the light to the space: a sculptural pendant will be ideal in a dining room, while a discreet sconce will suit a hallway better.
• Choose a shade matching your materials: brass, bronze, or matte black particularly complement light wood, marble, or polished concrete.
