Northern Dokka pendant light brass

Lamp Masters

Dokka Suspension Brass is a little lamp with a big story. This charming pendant has roots all the way back to 1954 and was the first Norwegian-designed lamp to win a Gold Medal at the prestigious Milan Triennale. It was recognized for its streamlined shape, precise proportions, use of materials and approach to fabrication. From day one, Dokka had the potential to be a classic. It quickly became one of the best-selling pendants ever produced in Norway. Unfortunately, it disappeared from the shelves just as quickly when its then-manufacturer decided to get out of the lighting business. In 2007 Northern relaunched Dokka, taking pains to remain faithful to the original. Recently Northern added three lovely new matte colours to supplement the original black and white - Aqua Green, Petrol Blue and Dark Grey. The original shades also got a bit of an update to make sure that all six colours worked well together. Dokka is built to last, both in terms of its classic and because it’s a solid and robust lamp. Fabricated from steel and finished with a high-quality paint job, Dokka is as popular now as it was over 60 years ago and we can picture this iconic pendant being a sought-after antique 200 years from now.

Design classic Dokka: famous Norwegian pendant lamp by Birger Dahl Dokka pendant lamp was designed by Norwegian designer Birger Dahl in 1954 and became the best-selling pendant lamp from Norway. When the manufacturer at the time ceased production, Dokka disappeared from the scene for the time being. In 2007, the Norwegian lighting and furniture manufacturer Northern relaunched the classic pendant lamp. In doing so, it was important to those responsible to preserve precisely the characteristics that had made the lamp so famous. Dokka's shade is made entirely of brass with a matte surface. No frills or unnecessary details were deliberately omitted. The shade with its downward flared shape stands for purism and Scandinavian elegance. Not for nothing was Dokka the first lamp from Norway, which was awarded the Golden Medal at the Triennale di Milano at the time.
