Lyfa ceiling lamps

This ceiling lamp was produced by Lyfa in Denmark during the 1960s and showcases a conical shade crafted from copper. The exterior of the shade exhibits a warm, naturally aged patina, with oxidation that enhances the material’s depth and character over time. The interior surface is painted white to maximize light reflection and improve illumination efficiency. The lamp is suspended by a simple cord, emphasizing a minimalist approach to its overall design.

Lyfa was a prominent Danish lighting manufacturer recognized for its high-quality craftsmanship and innovative designs that embodied the principles of Scandinavian modernism. The company played an influential role in the development of mid-century Danish lighting, focusing on functional designs that balanced material integrity and clean, geometric forms.

This lamp typifies mid-century Scandinavian design through its simple geometry and practical material use. The conical shape provides directional light, making it particularly suitable for dining areas or task lighting. The copper shade contributes a warm tonal quality to the light, which evolves aesthetically as the patina deepens with age.

The lamp is in vintage condition, exhibiting signs of wear consistent with its age, including surface marks and subtle variations in the patina. Its dimensions measure 38 cm in diameter and 28 cm in height.
