Originally introduced in the 1950s, the pendant was designed in close cooperation between the Navy Buildings Department and Louis Poulsen. Known as the Navy Pendant, it was widely used because of its unique lighting properties and utility. The design appears timeless but has a strong connection to the New Look of the 1950s. It was reintroduced as the Doo-Wop in 2012 in a range of new colours and a brass version. In 2017, new metal editions in copper and stainless steel were introduced. The production methods are the same and the shades are still spun by hand and completed with the fine rolled edge which gives the shades a special optical volume. 

The fixture primarily provides a downward directed soft light by means of the white lacquered inner conical reflector. The outer reflector, the main shade, contributes to directing the light up- and downwards, while at the same time spreading the soft diffuse light. The inside of the main shade is illuminated through an opening in the inner conical reflector.

Shade: White or dark grey powder coated aluminium, polished brass, copper or stainless steel

Note: Please note that the brass, copper and stainless steel surfaces are untreated. This means that the surface will change over time and develop a patina. This process may have already begun when the product is delivered.
