SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 18, 2025 – A new chapter in Scandinavian lighting design begins as Muuto introduces the Two-Layer Pendant, a striking fusion of form and function created by Danish designer Thomas Bentzen. Crafted from mouth-blown glass and engineered to balance direct and ambient light, the Two-Layer Pendant brings refined atmosphere and sculptural beauty to any living space.

A lamp that does more than just light a room

Bentzen’s vision for the Two-Layer Pendant was inspired by a single piece of glass—a simple object that sparked a years-long design journey. His approach transformed the concept into a lamp that not only illuminates, but also elevates its surroundings.

“This has been the longest project I’ve worked on to date. It has been incredibly challenging to develop the lamp due to its complex form and mouth-blown glass construction, featuring two distinct layers,” says Bentzen of the process.
