FRITZ HANSEN Caravaggio P2 Gloss black/black

Caravaggio™ designer pendant light – an aesthetically designed light source for general and area lighting Danish designer Cecilie Manz, whose aim in her work is to create products that are simple and beautiful in the Scandinavian tradition, but also feature modern international elements, has created a light source that meets all these criteria in the Caravaggio™ pendant light. The Caravaggio™ pendant light is ideal as a zone light source, e.g. for illuminating a dining table or counter, but can also be used as the main light source in a room. After training at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and a semester abroad at the University of Art and Design in Helsinki, Cecilie Manz founded her own company. She carries out her work in the traditional way – alone in her studio – sketching her designs on paper and dedicating herself to shaping her objects in her basement. Her work reflects Cecilie Manz's own expression: perfecting the Scandinavian tradition of simplicity with a modern, international aspect. Cecilie Manz has received numerous awards for her work, including the Berlin Art Prize (2008) and the Bruno Mathsson Prize (2009). Some of her pieces are on display in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Design Museum Danmark.

Premium quality characterises the products of the company, which has not been family-owned since 1979 but is now largely owned by Skandinavisk Holding. Since its introduction in the 1930s, high-quality plywood furniture has been the hallmark of FRITZ HANSEN. Many renowned architects and designers, such as Arne Jacobsen, Hans Wegner and Verner Panton, have collaborated with FRITZ HANSEN.
