About the Item

Rare and beautiful Danish Modern adjustable floor lamp model "G109" in brass manufactured in the 1940s by LYFA, Copenhagen and attributed to Bent Karlby. The brass stem can be adjusted in height (123-158 cm) and can be turned 360 degrees. The lamp is mounted with a hand folded shade by Le Klint. LYFA has since the 1930s won multiple international design awards for their spectacular lamps such as the Gold Medal at the World Fair 1929 in Barcelona and once again in 1935 in Brussels for the RA pendant. LYFA became famous for producing high-quality lighting, which took advantage of new technologies and materials. By the 1950s, LYFA had become an important and significant innovator working with prominent Danish architects and designers such as Piet Hein, Finn Juhl and Bent Karlby. Bent Karlby is widely regarded today as one of Denmark’s most productive and versatile lighting designers of the 20th century. He started his collaboration with LYFA in the 1940s, which was a partnership that would last nearly four decades. Bent Karlby is known for his soft light, organic shapes and hallmark peepholes.

Danish Modern Oak & Brass Adjustable Floor Lamp by Holm Sørensen, 1960s
By Svend Aage Holm Sørensen
Located in Odense, DK
Cool and beautiful floor lamp handmade by Svend Aage Holm-Sørensen in his own workshop in the 1960s. The brilliant design allows you to adjust the height simply by moving the brass rod up and down along the oakwood part of the base. The lamp is very nicely patinated and comes with a brand new shade in light flax linen. This lamp was only produced in the 1960s in very limited numbers and is therefore a rare find. Dane Svend Aage Holm-Sørensen (1913-2004) had a creative streak beyond the ordinary. He is known among vintage collectors, not least internationally, where the original lamps fetch high hammer blows at auctions. Svend Aage Holm-Sørensen drew sketches of everything.
