Copenhagen-based designer Jonas Loenborg created a series of feminine and elegant pendant lamps. The first one is Pinecone, which is available in two sizes and in different materials. A large pendant lamp comprised of 272 parts and measuring around 65cm in height and 40cm at its widest, while Mini has 152 parts and measures around 40cm in height and 30cm at its widest.

Bright Glory lamp was inspired by the beauty of sexy female legs. So you can choose what you like most here.

On the last picture there is the strangest variant which is divided by dotted lines into areas that make reference to different cuts of meat.
