The Clam lamp is an opaline glass shell, whose two shells can be pulled apart to reveal its light source as if it were a pearl.Ā
The two shades are mouth-blown: for the lamp to work properly, they have to be perfectly symmetrical in terms of size and weight - a real technical challenge for even the most experienced craftsmen.
The brass inner structure blends perfectly with the appearance of the glass, contributing to the warm, harmonious quality of the light emitted. A small brass knob can be turned by hand to open and close the lower shade and adjust the light intensity; its design is inspired by antique gas lamps.
The Clam lamp collection is the first work by the young Danish design duo Ahm & Lund for the Fritz Hansen brand.
The Clam suspension won first prize in the Danish TV show "Denmark's Next Classic", which promotes future classics of Danish design.Ā

Ahm & Lund is a Copenhagen-based design studio founded by designer Isabel Ahm (b. 1980) and cabinetmaker Signe Lund (b. 1991). Both work at the frontier between craft and design, with a shared belief in sustainable design. They design their products based on deep, empirical reflection.
They met at the "Skud pƄ Stammen 2016" exhibition, the equivalent of "budding talents", an initiative of the "NEXT" woodworking school in Copenhagen. As part of the TV program "Denmark's Next Classic", they decided to join forces and set up their own studio.
