The beige Hashira Large Pendant by Audo Copenhagen, designed by Norm Architects, asserts a sculptural luminous presence thought to structure large volumes with elegance. Designed for large-scale residential projects as well as high-end hotel or tertiary spaces, it naturally stands out above a table, in a hall or at the heart of a reception area, where it creates a warm and enveloping atmosphere. Inspired by the traditional lantern, its generous and refined silhouette diffuses a soft and homogeneous light, enhancing the volumes without dominating them and ensuring optimal visual comfort. True to the philosophy of Norm Architects, this large pendant combines minimalism, sensoriality and functionality, while its beige hue reinforces its timeless character and its ability to dialogue with varied contemporary architectures. A real staging tool, it becomes a central element of the project, bringing a refined, durable and resolutely contemporary light signature.
The Norm Architects studio, founded by Kasper Rønn von Lotzbeck and Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen in 2008, specialises in residential architecture, industrial design, photography and art direction. The essence of Norm Architects' work lies in the balance between richness and restraint, order and complexity, with a focus on quality, detail and sustainability. Located in Copenhagen, the traditions of Scandinavian design are respected, with an emphasis on traditional craftsmanship. The principles of timeless aesthetics and refinement through natural materials are also present in each of the group's creations. Their collection of purist, timeless objects includes the glass Kettle teapot and the Harbour armchair. This multidisciplinary studio is continuing its quest for the essential and minimalism by collaborating with Menu to create new iconic pieces. The two founders of Norm Architects share a passion for finding the exact point where nothing can be added or removed to improve the object. Together, they aspire to set new standards in Nordic design.

AUDO COPENHAGEN
Audo Copenhagen was founded in Fredensborg in 1979 by Simon Hansen. In the early days, the brand only sold accessories and tableware. Stainless steel was the main material used for tableware. However, in 1988 Audo Copenhagen overhauled its production and expanded its product range. Innovative products were developed and product design was modernised in terms of quality, design and development. Audo Copenhagen is rooted to Scandinavian traditions and its accessories have an undeniably Nordic charm. Audo Copenhagen Menu's philosophy is simple: make the world better, less complicated, and a little more pleasant to look at. Audo Copenhagen Menu sells intelligent solutions with functional details.
