Danish lighting designer Mads Caprani's singular and provocative vision of what a lamp should look like resonates through the ages.

From a small Danish company, Mads propelled Caprani Light into a global name, establishing subsidiaries throughout Europe, as well as in Chicago and Wisconsin in the USA.
