Quality System

Artist Flemming Brylle (born 26 august 1935) and industrial designer Preben Jacobsen designed this table lamp in 1965 when they founded their company Quality System. The company ended business in 1985.

In 2003 Flemming Brylle and Preben Jacobsen re-established the company and produced new retro-style designs.

Until a few years back they were in the design board of Quality System, mentoring the young team, and ensuring the steady flow of new designs. The company CEO today is Christian Brylle, son of Flemming Brylle. Flemming Brylle is still mentoring the younger designers.

Many designers created lamps for the company, among others the famous Morten Gøttler. He designed the Oscar and the Diamond pendant lamp and several other lamps.
