NORR11 ~ The Yoyo Table Lamp

As we approach the darker days of autumn and winter, the role lighting plays in a space becomes even more significant. One of my favorite ways to create a cozy atmosphere at home is through sculptural lighting elements that add just as much visual interest to a room as they do warmth. The Yoyo Lamp by NORR11 is the most recent addition to our home’s lighting ensemble — a piece that has all the hallmarks of an iconic design.

[AD] This stunning lamp has found a place in nearly every corner of our home. The beautifully balanced materiality and proportions of the bronzed base and milky glass shade make this design a true eyecatcher, and I love the sculptural impact of its silhouette. Like the name suggests, the form was inspired by the concentric shapes of a yoyo. Designers Kristian Sofus Hansen and Tommy Hyldahl created the Yoyo series in 2020, and the design is also available as a floor lamp.

Using traditional mouth-blowing techniques, the circular opal glass shade is made in two parts leading to a layered effect that elegantly conceals and defuses the light-source while creating a soft and inviting ambiance when illuminated. Contrasting the curvaceous and light lampshade, the deeply bronzed metal finish of the lamp’s segmented base brings a masculine edge to the design, punctuated by the knurled texture of the dimmer knob. I really like the way that the metal finish compliments just about any other metal tone in our home, be it silver, brass, or black — just one more detail that makes this lamp incredibly versatile.

NORR11 is a Copenhagen based interiors brand with a focus on creating the next wave of design classics founded on timelessness and modernity. The pieces in their collection reflect a sensitivity towards form, craftsmanship, and functionality that runs deep in both Scandinavian and Asian design principals. In addition to lighting, their range of products encompasses lounge seating, chairs, tables, and more — pieces that are each defined by their originality and quality.
