Norm Hanging Lamp 03 Small Normann Copenhagen

Simon Karkov

Simon Karkov is a Danish architect and designer, a graduate of The Danish Academy of Architecture in Copenhagen. Since the 1960s, he has been creating projects inspired by nature, combining functionality with an organic form. For many years he worked as an architect in Danish offices and with public projects for the Frederiksberg commune, including in the construction of a hospital and school. His most famous work is a lamp of standards 69 - icon of modern design, created in 1969, but introduced to the market only in 2002 by Normann Copenhagen. The product has gained international recognition, winning the Formlandprisen award and the title "Best item" on IMM Cologne. Karkov continued the design of other lamps: standards 06 and standards 12, reminiscent of floral sculptures.
