Another Bright Idea From The Fish Society



Is it a fish? Is it a light? Well, actually, it's both.

The Fish Society, the UK's premier online fishmonger, is now a supplier for the Uggi light, a distinctive home decoration from Icelandic artists Dögg Guðmundsdóttir and Fanney Antonsdóttir.

It's not food, but it is still fish! Using traditional methods of drying and preserving cod, the meat goes to a processing factory, while the skins are cleaned by hand before being exposed to the cold Nordic air. Three weeks later, the untreated 'lampshades' are ready to support low-heat bulbs, producing a unique luminescence and a striking centre-piece.  

Since being exhibited in Scandinavia, Europe and the US, the Uggi, meaning fish fin, has gained a shoal of new fans worldwide and is now manufactured to order. 

Speaking about the Uggi, Alistair Blair, Chairman of The Fish Society says, "This is a natural product presented in what we think is a highly unusual and entertaining light. Our customers needn't worry, we won't be reducing the range of fish and shellfish on offer; it's just something a little bit different."


The Uggi light measures up to 100cm in length and costs £490 including delivery, in The Fish Society's shop, www.thefishsociety.co.uk
