Fritz Hansen lamps are the embodiment of neat design and high quality. Innovation is a very important part of Fritz Hansen's philosophy which is evident in their beautiful collection of designer lamps. Their greatest dedication is functional lighting to benefit the user. Fritz Hansen are particularly known for their pendant and with the aid of several designers, the selection has become big and varied. Fritz Hansen aims to challenge the way that we think about, develop, and perceive light. We are almost always surrounded by light, whether natural or from a lamp, which means that we demand proper light for the purpose of the lamps.

Fritz Hansen A/S bought the brand Lightyears in 2015 and has chosen to merge the collections from Lightyears and Fritz Hansen in 2019 so that they are called Fritz Hansen Lamps. See the entire assortment of lamps from Lightyears and Fritz Hansen below.

In 2005 Lightyears was founded and they have been working at full speed from day one. Lightyears are fond of their Nordic roots and view light, functionality, and aesthetics as the three most important components of a complete lamp design.

The big demand, quality, and design were all important factors for Fritz Hansen when they acquired Lightyears in 2015.  Fritz Hansen is one of the most iconic design brands and has a long prestigious story. Therefore, the acquisition of the young and innovative design brand Lightyears was very interesting news when it was released in 2015.
