What to do with 5000 cheese-dish covers?
Anders was commissioned to solve the arisen problem. He then drilled a 42 mm hole on the top of
the plastic cup, glued a textile fringe around its lower part and attached a lighting suspension.
A new lamp was born - "Stina". This ceiling lamp was later on complemented by a table lamp built up
by two assembled cheese-dish covers on a small base - "Bullen", which often appears in antique shops
and in interior magazines. The production and product range increased and Anders' passion for
lighting had arisen.
And that is how one becomes a lighting trader!
How to become a lighting trader
Anders Hall's entrance into the lighting industry was in fact somewhat of an accidental occurrence.
Anders, who in 1972 was a manufacturer of paper plates, had an uncle who was producing cheese-dish covers
in a plastic material. In August the same year the previously mentioned uncle had received a fairly
large order of 5000 plastic covers from a customer in Southern Sweden. It so happened that the customer
went into bankruptcy simultaneously with the production being finalized.
