Designed by P. Hougaard Nielsen and C. J. Nørgaard Pedersen in 1963 for
the Ballerup Gymnasium. The architects specialized in building schools and
education facilities and became the standard for educational building
design for Copenhagen. Their work was based on educational develop-
ment at that time and the need for flexibility. BALLERUP in its original size
was intended as a general room light and, in spite of its very simple struc-
ture, the fixture manages to combine a powerful downlight with ceiling
surface light, and therefore is both functional and decorative lighting.
Today it is used in many hallways and reception areas.
