Model "P165" Brass and Glass Ceiling Lamp by LYFA, Denmark 1940s
About the Item
Lighting is a huge part of Danish and Scandinavian design, ranging from the warm, low light of a candle to the bright overhead glow of a ceiling light. This 1940s ceiling lamp is a unique piece of functionalist design with unmistakable touches of Modernism.
This "P165" lamp by LYFA brings together brass and glass to achieve a timeless look, associated with the heyday of modern design. While this shape used to be quite common, this model offers plenty that distinguishes it aesthetically, for instance, the air bubble elements present in the glass shade. The three slender light bulbs housed inside the shade create a beautiful effect when lit, glowing from the inside to establish the homey warm light. To counterbalance the shade, the brass stem and rod have a more understated, streamlined look that allows the design focus to remain on the glass. Like most mid-century lighting designs, this model is also dominated by its brass structure. The popularity of brass can be attributed to its golden hue that added warmth to the style's modern aesthetic. The composition of the shapes and clever decorative elements give this ceiling lamp a stylish look that is guaranteed to set the tone of an interior. The sleek design’s lines create a perfect balance between the ornamented features of the early 20th century, and the later phase of mid-century modernism with its more minimal, simplified look.
A model like this can create an intimate and cosy experience in a dining room or enhance the ambience of a living room with a warm glow, without creating harsh shadows. This lamp is sure to be a lovely addition to any interior space.
