The Unispot "Storebror" (Big Brother) is the largest and most commanding model in the iconic Unispot series — designed by Bent Gantzel-Boysen and manufactured by Louis Poulsen & Co A/S in Denmark during the 1970s. A defining object of Danish Atomic Space Age modernism, and increasingly difficult to find in good condition.
Gantzel-Boysen — also known for the IKEA DUETT pendant — brought a rigorous, functional intelligence to the Unispot series. The Storebror’s adjustable extension arm allows precise directional positioning, making it as practical as it is collectible. It can be ceiling-hung or mounted on a compatible track system (track sold separately). Priced per single unit.
