Two Swedish architects, Ann Morsing and Beban Nord at Box Arkitekter, have risen to the challenge of updating this classic design to create a lamp to meet the new demands of today’s and tomorrow’s world – without compromising the distinctive appearance of the original that went out of production in the 1990s. “We could see the potential to transform the lamp into a product that would work in interior decoration contexts, simply by giving its lines a slightly more sophisticated look,” explains Beban Nord of Box Arkitekter. Today the new updated PJ series – contemporary, timeless and equally at home in both domestic, office and public settings – is produced by Örsjö Belysning in Nybro, Sweden. Ideally suited to a wide variety of styles and surroundings, the lamp combines flair with function. The name PJ has been retained. “It’s the original name, and it seemed only natural to continue to use it,” Beban Nord says.

A classic desk lamp. Available with a table base, PJ60, or clamp fitting, PJ65. A special solution to fit a hole drilled through the tabletop may also be ordered by request. The PJ series is manufactured in a lacquered metal finish.

A tip to remember! When tightening the joints of the lamp, remove the outer wing nut and tighten the nut in the joint. Then replace the wing nut. The wing nut should only be used to make fine adjustments to the tension in the joints.
