It all started in Norway in the spring of 2004 when Peter Seidelin Jessen, the designer, was looking after the stand of Rosenkilde’s at the Boat Fair at Lillestrøm. As Peter noticed, quite a few visitors to the stand were expressing a desire for an oil lamp looking like a miner’s lamp, but emitting more light. One year passed without the lamp getting any closer than a sketch on the drawing board - he wasn’t satisfied yet. During the summer of 2005 a lamp shade was added, as we nourished the idea of developing a hanging lamp; with a shade the lamp fulfills the good qualities of both the miner’s lamp as well as a suspended lamp: a tasteful shape and being able to reflect its light downwards, whether hanging from a boom or stood on a table, and it may be moved freely about, and so enhancing the spell of a summer’s night! 3 years later, in the spring of 2007, we were able to introduce the first edition of Petrolux at the Boat Fair at Fredericia, Denmark. We were satisfied with the product except for its capabilities in windy weather: It blew out! This is OK in the garden, but not on a boat.
