Founded in 2015 by Maja and Samuel Norburg, Pholc is a distinctly Swedish lighting brand with a new take on Scandinavian aesthetics. With a commitment to creating meaningful design rooted in strong ideas and long-lasting quality, Pholc takes a stand against the expected. The brand stays informed and relevant through collaboration with talents from diverse fields. A Pholc lamp possesses a characteristically unique style and personality that calls for attention and awakens curiosity.

Every design starts with a dream. Pholc believes in realising dreams without compromising the vision. The brand is committed to pushing boundaries, fostering continuous movement between the familiar and the unknown, and consistently challenging expected norms. Collaborating closely with designers, Pholc challenges conventions and strives to create designs for the future. The brand aspires to achieve expressive relevance beyond the ordinary. As part of the design exhibition focusing on the theme of Materials & Sustainability, Pholc will present its inaugural collaboration with designer John Astbury, alongside designs by Maria Bruun & Anne Dorthe Vester and Broberg & Ridderstråle.
