MEMOIR / Pendant 120 II
MEMOIR is a product family designed by GamFratesi based on a modern take and interpretation of the classic chandelier. At the heart of the design is the gently shaped opal glass shade that evokes a historical typology and romantic spirit. The linear metal structures compose a graphic outline that allows it to be connected in numerous compositions. The simplistic ingenuity of the MEMOIR lighting system bridges decorative details of the past and a sculptural silhouette intended for modern spaces.

Origin story
The MEMOIR series originates from the idea of creating a concept with an essential element that could be extended to various compositions while maintaining a clear design identity. GamFratesi explains, "We have always been fascinated by chandeliers – and we wanted to work with a modular concept that maintained a decorative sense without losing its simplicity and great functionality."
GamFratesi has designed the MEMOIR series with vivid contrasts in mind. The opal glass shade is shaped gently with a significant tip at the bottom that evokes certain historical elements and styles of the past. In contrast, the metal suspension and linear connectors are modern and graphic elements. MEMOIR is designed to bring compositions of luminous sculptures to life for both domestic and hospitality spaces.
"MEMOIR is a modern interpretation of the classic chandelier - developed as a family of modular elements that can create numerous compositions. We wanted to play with the idea of a historical typology of lamps that would enhance the value of memory while adding a modern and more graphic take on the design."
Designed by GamFratesi
The Danish-Italian design studio is a fusion of proud traditions, refined aesthetics, and expressive designs - uniting the distinctive cultures and contrasts of Italy and Denmark in new forms and shapes. Since 2006, Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi have been at the forefront with their contemporary designs, which have been rewarded with several national and international awards. GamFratesi is known for their creative drive, experimental approach to techniques, and ability to tell unique stories with their designs. The work of GamFratesi is characterised by their dual background reflected in elegant contrasts, harmonies, colours, and materials. Utilising these elements, GamFratesi creates furniture and lighting that respectfully reflect the proud traditions of Scandinavian functionalism and craft with an Italian intellectual approach.
Lightscapes
As a result of the thickness of the three-layered opalised glass, MEMOIR emits a pleasant and uniform light. With the linear connectors, MEMOIR can fill up a room with a cloud of downward illumination while also being able to establish an intimate and ambient lighting atmosphere with the single ceiling or wall elements. A distinctive and graceful lighting design intended to light up spaces - no matter shape, length, height or size.
