“As a chef you have to think about curves, forms, details, colours, tastes, consistences and contrasts in each creation. To use this “forced” creativity and artificial finesse in other areas than cooking, is a great satisfaction to me. As we chefs often use to say: “keep it simple”, the simple is often the best. The Snowball lamp is a result from this. Be my guest!” - Trond Svendgård
