Tom Rossau TR747 Natural Pendant

Design: Tom Rossau

Concept: The self-taught Danish designer Tom Rossau, started his career in his parents' basement. He had a large passion for LEGO which was the starting shot for Tom's lively imagination. Tom Rossau 's passion for design started in the 90s, when he opened his very own store in Copenhagen, and designed and sewed leather clothing. Since 2004, however, he chose to work primarily with natural wood veneer. In the beginning it was only possible to buy his uniquely beautiful lamps in his old shop in Istedgade in Copenhagen, but in 2006 the models TR4, TR5, TR6 and TR7 were were introduced to a wider audience at Copenhagen´s Furniture Fair, where TR7 received "Audience Favorite Award ".

Although the business continues to boom, Tom Rossau maintains the company's original values and core. He thought it was a magical experience to design, and see the prototypes as well as the materials develop during the design process. He gets a kick out of the whole design process, and finds his inspiration all over the world, but at the same time lets the possibilities of the materials also inspire him. In fact, he believes the material is the designer, and he is simply the helper who assembles the lamps, picks up screws, and fastens the ends.

Tom Rossau has designed many beautiful lamps, but the TR747 the pendant is really something in itself. The "paper airplane" lamp consists of a series of small airplane-shaped birch strips, inspired by school-age paper airplanes and provides an at once elegant and whimsical play to the surroundings.
