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.
