FRIPON
Established in 2025, FIRPON's first endeavour is to bring the light back to the somewhat mythical Filosof Lamp, created by the notorious architect Lars-Erik Ejlers (1948–2024). Lars-Erik Ejlers carried the lamp with him wherever he went, from the bar at Hotel D’Angleterre to Holstein Bodega, turning Copenhagen’s nightlife into his personal showroom. To own a Filosof Lamp was to own a piece of a story, as it was often purchased directly from him during a late-night visit to a city bar, making it both rare and iconic. FRIPON now carries his vision forward, bringing the Filosof Lamp back to shine in modern spaces.
For 3daysofdesign, Fripon has been invited to showcase the Filosof Lamp at Galleri Sonja's exhibition, which explores the transformation of raw materials into craft. The Filosof Lamp fits the exhibition's theme well, as its shades are formed by hand through traditional metal-spinning techniques that require experience and training for the craftsman to develop a natural feeling when forming the metal. The lamp can be experienced in the original version with brass and copper shades and in a new version with polished nickel shades.
