“Danish design is intelligent design, and a synonym for creative and outstanding styling,” enthuses Gitte Bald, co-proprietor of the Copenhagen-based company. Altogether the products from Bald and Bang are characterised by their timeless yet simultaneously modern design. As Gitte Bald continues, “The aesthetic aspect is not dominated by trends, but, on the contrary, possesses that special Scandinavian style which is expressive of both elegance and originality.”
The company’s success began with the prototype of the “IQlight” system, the lampshade you can create for yourself. Then in 2005 Bald & Bang launched their “Turbo” lamp on the market. This is a pendant fitting from the year 1965, which was designed by the Danish architect Louis Weisdorf. It consists of twelve spiral-shaped aluminium segments and is supplied ready assembled.
The IQlight system was developed in 1973 by the Danish designer Holger Strøm. The kit consists of 30 identical modules which can be put together to make a lamp. It is possible to create as many as 21 different lampshade designs, according to the quantity of modules used and the assembly pattern chosen. The packaging contains suggestions and instructions for different models.
The IQlight is available in six different sizes from 30 cm to 80 cm in diameter. The modules, which are made from white rigid vinyl, are flexible, tough and easy to clean.
Bald & Bang took over the sole distribution of IQlight worldwide in 2000. Within this context Holger Strøm worked in close cooperation with the company to create a new packaging design for the product, which won the Danish Design Award in 2001. And in 2005, IQlight also received the Interior Innovation Award for innovative design at the Furniture Fair in Cologne.
Today the lighting kit is marketed in more than 35 countries – from Europe via Asia and across to the USA as well.
The name of IQlight, by the way, simply refers to the geometry of the lamp, which is made up of interlocking quadrilaterals. It has nothing to do with intelligence quotients!
