Use retro lamps as contrast in the decor
Retro lamps can create a nice contrast in a modern home or serve as a nostalgic reminder of the security of your childhood home.
Retro lamps are typically lamps that have survived different trends over time and just continue to make sense. They can be style expressions that become modern again - perhaps because they remind us of another time when life seemed simpler.
Here at At Mission Afrika Genbrug we collect good retro lamps and put them up for sale in the shop. Keep an eye on the selection that changes constantly and grab it when your favorite lamp appears.
Danish retro lamps for sale
When we talk about Danish designer lamps, most people probably think of names like Louis Poulsen or Poul Henningsen - the classic PH lamp. But there are an incredible number of talented Danish designers to choose from if you want to decorate and illuminate your home with Danish design. One of Denmark's largest lamp manufacturers, Fog and Mørup, has over the years been behind many popular designs from well-known Danish designers.
There is plenty to choose from on the Danish design scene when it comes to lighting. But design can be expensive. That's why used designer lamps are also a thing. Designs from the 50s and 60s in particular are sought after in modern interiors, which can have an element of retro.
How do you install a lamp?
When you get a new (or old) lamp home, it often needs to be hung up and connected to power. Unless you have bought a table lamp or floor lamp that just needs to be plugged into a socket. You can of course call an electrician to come and fix it for you. That way you are sure that it will be done according to the book. But you can also try it yourself.
Are you unsure whether you are allowed to hang your lamp yourself? Normally, you are allowed to change ordinary lamps in existing installations yourself. But please check the Danish Safety Technology Authority's recommendations before you start.
Follow our step-by-step guide when setting up lamps.
- Turn off the power first. Not just at the outlet, but at the electrical panel. That way you'll be sure not to get burned.
- If necessary, use a small screwdriver to loosen the cover from the lamp socket. Pull the wire from your new lamp through the cover immediately. It's annoying to install the entire lamp and then see the cover lying around "decorating" on the coffee table.
- If the wire is new, cut a few centimeters off the outer sheath to expose the colored wires. Then cut a little of the colored wires to expose the copper wires. Twist the copper wires around themselves so they don't stick out in all directions. You're now ready to attach the wires to the lamp socket.
- Make sure the wire goes around the small relief hook that supports the weight of the lamp, and then attach the copper wires to the terminals. Most lamps have a blue and a brown wire. The blue wire should go into the N terminal. The brown wire should go into M1 or M2. If you have a green/yellow wire, look for a symbol for “earth wire”.
- Once all the wires are securely attached and the relief hook is supporting the weight, replace the cover and turn on the power. If the light is on, you are done.
