About the Item

The Lyfa Konkylie Pendant Lamp is a striking example of mid-century modern lighting design, characterized by its unique and intricate construction. Each lamp features a lampshade composed of 12 folded anodized oval aluminum spiral slats, interspersed with metal parts, creating a mesmerizing geometric pattern that diffuses light beautifully. Designed by the esteemed Danish architect and industrial designer Louis Weisdorf in 1964, the Konkylie lamp was initially created for the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen. Weisdorf, born in 1932 in Copenhagen, had a distinguished career working alongside prominent designers such as Verner Panton and Poul Henningsen, before making his mark with his own innovative designs. The Konkylie lamp stands out as one of his iconic creations, celebrated for its aesthetic appeal and functional design. Lyfa, the manufacturer of this exquisite lamp, was founded in 1924 and has earned numerous awards for its contributions to lighting design. The company has undergone several name changes due to mergers but continues to exist today, maintaining its reputation for quality and innovation. This particular model of the Konkylie Pendant Lamp was produced in various colors, each one enhancing the unique play of light and shadow created by the spiral slats. The lamps are not just lighting fixtures but pieces of art, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to any space. Louis Weisdorf passed away on January 9, 2021, but his legacy lives on through his timeless designs, including the Konkylie Pendant Lamp. This pair of lamps is a testament to his vision and the enduring appeal of Danish design. We only have one.
