Danish Konkylie Pendant Lamp by Louis Weisdorf for Lyfa, 1960s
About the Item
Some of the most beloved lighting designs that Weisdorf put into production with Lyfa include the conch Hanging Lamp (1963). Because Weisdorf's designs tended to involve intricate, overlapping layers of metal—an eye-catching composition to reduce glare—Lyfa sold his work as "prestige lighting."
This is not "just" a lamp... This is a light "sculpture"...
Louis Weisdorf, born in 1939, is a well-known Danish architect and industrial designer who has made a clear mark in his field. In 1954, he was one of the youngest ever to graduate from the Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. Weisdorf worked for the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen for 10 years as an assistant to chief architect Simon P. Henningsen, and it was here that he designed the Konkylie lamp, which opened his eyes to lighting design. The lamp in anodized gold hung in the trees at Tivoli until recently.
In 1967, Weisdorf opened his own architectural practice in Copenhagen, sharing premises with Ole Panton (Verner Panton's brother), and he undertook assignments for both national and international clients, including working closely with both Verner Panton and Poul Henningsen. He continued to explore uniform lamellae and their ability to conduct light and created e.g. Turbo Pendel, which won the iF Design Award.
He was fascinated by the simple design principle with the repetitive shape of the slats, which gave so much flexibility in appearance and at the same time protected against glare.
