Pandul – a new member of the Carl Hansen & Søn family

As of 2023 July 14, the Danish lighting manufacturer Pandul is part of Carl Hansen & Søn.

Pandul, founded in 1982, manufactures in Greve and distributes its products through a network of global retailers. The company’s operation will continue unchanged in the new set-up, and we will keep distributing Pandul’s lighting fixtures through existing sales channels.

The collection consists of iconic lighting objects designed by master architects Hans J. Wegner, Erik Magnussen, Henning Koppel and Jørgen Gammelgaard. Especially Hans J. Wegner links the collection to Carl Hansen & Søn and makes Pandul an obvious addition to the existing lighting collection available in the company’s flagship stores and webshop.

“We are very happy to welcome Pandul into our collection of design icons, as we believe the two collections complement each other perfectly – both in terms of expression, materials, and craftsmanship. The Pandul collection of timeless lighting fixtures will strengthen Carl Hansen & Søn’s position as multidisciplinary design company even further,” says Knud Erik Hansen, CEO.

New Colour Concept for the Wegner Pendant: Classic Copenhagen Colours

During the 2019 ”3 Days of Design” event in Copenhagen PANDUL launched the classic Wegner Pendant in a colour palette inspired by the beautiful classic Copenhagen colours known from all over the City as the colours on doors, windows, facades, benches and much more.
Dark green and dark blue as the dominating choices for doors, windows and gates. Red as the old bricks or plastered facades, white like the window frames and warm grey as facades or facade decorations on brick walls. In addition we have made the hangers in shiny ”silver” or shiny 24 carat gold as a reference to the stainless steel or brass used on the doors and gates for handles etc.

The Wegner rise & fall pendant is a true classic which has been in uninterrupted danish production, since it was displayed the very first time back in 1962 at the Master Cabinetmakers Fall Exhibition and it has been a part of the Pandul Collection since 1989.

24 carat gold...

The Bordeaux-red Wegner pendant was introduced with a 24 carat gold plated hanger as an alternative to the standard silver coloured. This option became so popular that we decided to extend it to also include the white version of the Wegner pendant.

All Wegner lamps available in the new, warm grey colour

The new, warm grey is now available for both “The Pendant” and all Opala pendants + table & floor lights. This colour will have white cord as standard.
