“Grasp was designed for a TV program called The

Next Classic of Denmark.

The task was to create a cordless, portable lamp,

which created an atmospheric glare free light. A

lamp that would create a useful space in the dark,

and provided enough light so you could see your

friends and whatever you had on the table.

When I made the first version of Grasp, I wanted the

stem, as I call it, to be as thin as possible. But if it was

as thin as I made it, only eight millimeters, it wouldn’t

be possible to have a wire going through the lamp.

That was the catalyst to come up with the idea of the

portable light source.

What if you only have the light source that you can

take out and charge it? One that wouldn’t take up

much space and you could do it everywhere.

This removable light source quickly became one of

the main functional features behind Grasp.”
