Birger Dahl

Birger Dahl, designer of the Northern floor lamp Birdy, is one of the pioneers of modern Scandinavian lighting design. His most important creative period was in the mid-20th century, when, for example, he won the gold medal at the prestigious Milan Triennale in 1954 with his Dokka lamp and thus turned an international focus on to Norwegian lighting design. Its characteristic, sleek style emphasizes the clarity of form and is characterized by a sensitivity that ensures that Dahl's lighting designs continue to be as relevant as ever today.
