About the Item

Kvadrille - wall lamp designed by Bent Karlby in 1969 and produced by Lyfa - a beautiful vintage sconce or light relief in very good vintage condition! Top-of-the-line from Bent Karlby and an internationally sought after piece - absolute gorgeous design! A square shaped sconce with raised rim, cast in thick yellowish hard plastic, and an indentation in the middle. On top of this indentation sits a centre of layered metal squares in white, blue, red and black. Behind the layered metal square sits the bulb socket, placed in the bottom of the indentation. When lit, the light is emitted through the space between the layered metal squares and radiates soft warm light around it - an exceptional vintage collectible addition to any space! Originally advertised as a light relief for use in bookcases, shelving, on tables or walls, as Bent Karlby had designed a genius (wall) mounting - you are able to hang it on the wall and create a beautiful light sculpture or place it on a table, as the mounting features a small base which enable the lamp to stand steady on a table or a shelf. Condition: This Kvadrille is in very good vintage condition with very few signs of usage and age. Only thing keeping me from classifying this piece to be in excellent vintage condition is that the backside of the layered metal square is slightly yellowish in the tone. Please see the photos! All original, but rewired with 1,.5 m (4' 11.1") plastic plastic cord, fitted with on/off switch placed at convenient height at the cord and fitted with Euro style plug - which is easily changed to your specific plug. Tested and fully functional. Cleaned, labeled and packed in protective bag. Light source: One bulb, Edison screw-fitting (E14/E12 with adapter) - Max 40 watt.
