Cho Table Lamp
Designed by Ernst / Bartholin Jensen
Named for the Japanese word for butterfly, Cho sets a soft, translucent shade, a single sheet of PVC curving into wings that shift with your point of view, on a frame that could not be more different from it.
Slim powder-coated steel, shaped like a bridge: two uprights rising from a spanning foot, drawn as cleanly as a line. In black, that structure comes forward. The frame becomes the drawing and the shade its counterweight — a study in connection, between strength and lightness, form and function, material and light. This is Cho in its original form, at its most graphic and essential. Made in Denmark.
Choose options
The shade is formed by pressing a flat sheet of translucent PVC into a curved, wing-like silhouette. Its form changes depending on the angle from which it is seen, giving the lamp a sculptural presence that invites interpretation.
With its semi-matte translucent shade, Cho diffuses light evenly and calmly into the room. The black powder-coated steel base grounds the composition, its slim legs contrasting with the softness of the shade above.
Also available in colors matcha and terracotta.

Cho arrives flat packed, with the frame and shade separately packed in a cardboard box. The shade is formed by hand - simply apply pressure and rest it onto the steel frame.
Dust can be removed from both the inside and outside of the shade using a soft dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment. For more thorough cleaning over time, gently wipe using a soft cloth lightly wrung in lukewarm water.
The result of a paper study
Cho is the result of a study on shapes that emerge when pressure is applied to an oval sheet of paper. A translucent wing, wedged into a slim black steel frame, that shifts with the point of view.
Cho means butterfly in Japanese, which is how the shape spoke to the designers. Lightness meeting solidity - white meeting black.

Ernst / Bartholin Jensen
Anne-Mette Bartholin Jensen and Morten Ernst are Danish designers, trained as architects, working in furniture and lighting within the classic Danish design tradition.
That architectural grounding runs through their work: form treated as a matter of connection - between strength and lightness, function and feeling, material and the light that moves through it.
They design where structure meets the sensory, the visible carrying the felt.
