Cosy winter lamp

Lots of snow and harsh weather, in Sweden or elsewhere, calls for cosy interiors.

"The design of the pendant lamp Granny is a direct response to the climatic challenges of cold winters with its long tradition of gatherings in living rooms around the fireplace, where grannies used to knit while telling stories. Granny is a reminiscence of childhood", according to the designer group Pudelskern Design.

The material used is pure natural wool from sheep bred on green alpine pastures in the remote valleys of the Tyrol. Each lamp can be tracked back to the flock where the wool came from. Intervention at different stages of the cycle has refined the existing products and new products were developed from half-finished materials. Granny is made from thick woollen threads that produce a raw yet cosy surface. The threads are produced by a family business in the Tyrol, with each lamp hand-knitted by a collective of home-based workers in the Netherlands. A natural treatment is applied that makes the wool flame resistant and resistant to moth and mite infestation.
