Dyberg Larsen – The Design World of Frank Kerdil
Behind some of Dyberg Larsen’s best-known lights is the Danish designer Frank Kerdil. With his keen sense of form, function and innovation, he has created designs that continue to shape the brand’s identity to this day.
Originally trained as a graphic designer, Kerdil turned his attention to product design in the late 1990s. In doing so, he always adhered to his own philosophy: a new product should be more than just a variation on what already exists. Every idea should create genuine added value – whether through its materials, function or form.
This approach is particularly evident in the iconic PineApple series. Individual elements, arranged one above the other, come together to form a sculptural light fitting that softly diffuses the light whilst retaining a striking appearance. Over the years, the design has been continuously refined and is now available as a pendant, table, floor and wall lamp.
Designs such as Illumin and the New Worker pendant light also reflect Kerdil’s ability to combine functionality and character within a clean, Scandinavian design language. His lights combine creative ideas with practicality for everyday use – and result in designs that stand the test of time.
Designed with curiosity. Made to last.
