Product description

The fixture looks like a disc hovering just below the ceiling – an impression primarily created by the illuminated opening and the suspended placement of the fixture below the mounting surface. The 2-layer glass/acrylic shade ensures uniform, gently diffuse lighting. This fixture gives the room the illusion of extra height.

Available colors: Satin Chrome Plated, High Lustre Chrome Plated

Dimensions
Lenght: 460mm
Height: 30mm
Width: 460mm

Light source: On our website you can use our product configurator to specify the light source and lighting control.

Concept

In 1955, Arne Jacobsen designed the first recessed fixture to illuminate the ceiling and in that way even out light contrasts. He created it for a school, called Munkegårdsskolen, in Søborg just outside Copenhagen, hence the fixture’s name. The Munkegaard is suspended right below the ceiling where it seems to hover in the air when switched on. The shade is made of two layers of glass and acrylic that provide a particularly even and soft light and which makes the ceiling appear higher too. The Munkegaard is distinctly characterised by Arne Jacobsen, with its discrete, elegant and timeless appearance that complements all architectural settings, also today.
