Danish Modern Brass & Glass Table Lamp by Bent Karlby for LYFA, 1950s
About the Item
Rare brass table lamp made in the 1950s by LYFA, Copenhagen. Design by Bent Karlby. The lamp base is made from patinated brass and the shade consists of an inner part in opaline glass. Upper shade is perforated lacquered metal.
Bent Karlby (1912-1998) 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. During his career, Karlby moved more towards pure geometric shapes such as the cone, cylinder and arc along with playful colours. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Bent Karlby never employed staff in his studio. He wanted things done his way and was known for his uncompromising work ethics.
