Benny Frandsen
Founder of FRANDSEN GROUP
Born 1941
Qualified electrician and electronic engineer
It all started back in 1968 as a modest business in the basement of his own
home, where Benny Frandsen began designing lamps when he wasn’t busy
earning extra cash in the military.
Young and idealistic, he first made only the geometrical lamps that were his
own favourites. He quickly discovered, however, that these weren’t selling
well, and cast his efforts into round lamps.
One of Frandsen’s first round lamps was the Ball series he created in 1969.
The design was simple and functional, and Ball went on to become a de-
sign classic found in thousands of homes.
True to the aesthetic of the late 60s and early 70s, the first Ball lamps were
polished aluminium or painted dark brown or orange. Since then, Ball has
been updated many times in many new colours, and the Ball series has
grown to comprise hanging lamps as well as table, wall and floor lamps.
FRANDSEN - The man who designed the Ball lamp
1970
The Ball floor lamp was launched in 1970, and was available in
polished aluminium.
1973
“Lamps should be both practical and fun,” says Benny
Frandsen, seen here with a hanging version of the Ball lamp.
1969 - 2013
2011
The Ball series grew into new floor and desktop versions in
2011.
2012
The first Ball lamp was a wall lamp, and these continue to be
a mainstay of the series. Many colours have come and gone in
Ball’s history of more than 40 years. The most recent addition,
in the fall of 2012, saw Ball launched in copper.
