Wonderful presentation. The color adjusting lamp is amazing! Though, I still think the PH Kogle (which translates as conifer cone) is my favorite.

[@ScandinavianDesign101]

Yeah, the Artichoke is indeed a wonderful lamp. We love the copper version!

[@jontorres8408]

Enjoy your Videos, would you guys ever do designs from other nations such as eames??

[@ScandinavianDesign101]

Absolutely! Great idea.

[@M.A.K.666]

The PH5 reminds me of an Fuchsia somehow.

[@ScandinavianDesign101]

Yeah, that’s actually true!

I bought a snowball many years ago. Over time, it has turned yellow and dull. Do you know how I can get it back to white colour? Thanks

[@ScandinavianDesign101]

Hello! It's quite difficult. I tried to restore an old PH5 some years ago, polishing it and using different chemicals, but ended up taking it apart and re-spraying it white.

[@lemech]

@@ScandinavianDesign101 Thank you. Yes I was thinking of re-spraying. Looks like I might do it someday. Cheers

[@ScandinavianDesign101]

Good luck! Send us a picture when it's ready!

[@lemech]

@@ScandinavianDesign101 Thanks but it won't happen until I find it unbearable :(

[@warpnin3]

The design of the last lamp was very well thought out: moving the bulb up or down to adjust the color tone of the light! I wonder how well that would work with present day lightbulbs

[@ScandinavianDesign101]

Thats a problem. It still works but not as great as with old school light bulbs.
