She trained at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and then spent a semester abroad at the University of Art and Design in Helsinki. She then opened her own studio. Her designs aim to continue the tradition of Scandinavian design and to lighten its simplicity with modern aspects. Cecilie Manz has received several awards for her work, including the Thorvald Bindesbøll Medal (2011), the Berlin Art Prize (2008) and the Bruno Mathsson Prize (2009). Her works are also in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Design Museum Danmark. Since its foundation in 1885 by the cabinetmaker Fritz Hansen, the Danish company FRITZ HANSEN has been known for its high-quality products, which earned the company an impressive reputation just a few years after it was founded. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Fritz Hansen already furnished Christiansborg, the University Library and the City Hall of Copenhagen as well as the Supreme Court. Premium quality is the hallmark of the products of the company, which since 1979 has been largely owned by Skandinavisk Holding. Since its introduction in the 1930s, high-quality furniture made of plywood has been the trademark of Fritz Hansen. Many renowned architects and designers, such as Arne Jacobsen, Hans J. Wegner and Verner Panton, worked together with Fritz Hansen.

Cecilie Manz’s overall goal with this elegant collection was to create a simple and soft shape. A design icon since its launch in 2005, the Caravaggio family has grown to include table and floor lamps in a range of sophisticated colours and finishes and is more popular today than ever. During the design process the lamp evolved through a series of different shapes, resulting in Caravaggio’s softly feminine lines. The depth of the shade ensures that the pendant doesn’t create glare regardless of where you place it. Furthermore, Caravaggio Read is equipped with small slits in the top of the lampshade to ensure an upward-facing light. The Caravaggio Read wall lamp in Opal Glass is delivered with two different mounting brackets. The large one can be mounted over a socket, so the lamp has no visible wiring, whereas the small one includes a cable. The switch is mounted under the bracket to ensure that it is discreet yet easily accessible. The Caravaggio Read in opal glass can be recognised by the fact that it produces a direct light without glare. Plus, it contributes to the general illumination of the room by providing upward-facing light.
