Inspired by the characteristic use of animal pictures in Danish Modernism from the 1940s to 1960s, the Bull lamp takes its name after the bull-like lampshades of opal glass, providing a smooth light scattering and a characteristic expression. The body consists of an unpolished grey marble base with a lamp arm in oxidized aluminum covered in spun cognac coloured leather, and an upper part in oxidized aluminum that stands in beautiful contrast to the light, translucent glass. This subtle interaction of materials makes the Bull lamp much more than merely a source of light.

Metal
Inspired by architecture, the metal finishes of 101 Copenhagen are characterized by treated and rich surfaces, emphasizing the unique potential and qualities of each metal. The finishes of brass, bronze and burned black are all plated one or two times to create a layered metal finish with a subtle warmth. Subsequent to the plating, all metal colours are hand brushed to achieve a beautiful patinated look. Finally, the colour is spray painted with a mat transparent paint, adding a silky mat finish to the metal.
The products of cast aluminium have small marks and variations from the casting process, therefore small holes and unevenness might occur. Products made of cast aluminium is not recommended for outdoor use. Standing outside will cause the product to rust. Resembling architectural concrete facades, the Oxidized aluminium colour is made from a special acid treatment. The metal is dipped in acid for a very short time, creating a raw mat grey surface and leaving large sporadic marks.
Maintenance:
For daily cleaning it is recommended to use a microfiber cloth to remove dust or dirt from the surface. Please do not use cleaning agents that contain acid.
