About This Piece

Vintage Design

This beautiful pair of pendant chandeliers, designed by the renowned Carl Fagerlund for Lyfa in the 1970s, captures the essence of Danish mid-century modern design.

The intricate design of these fixtures showcases Fagerlund's expertise in blending functionality with aesthetic appeal. Each chandelier is equipped with six internal light points, ensuring a warm and even illumination that enhances the ambiance of any space. Whether installed in a dining room, bedroom, office, or entryway, these chandeliers will instantly elevate the decor with their refined elegance. The brass elements, especially the lower section beneath the crystal, exhibit small scratches and signs of age, enhancing their vintage appeal. The upper brass components remain in excellent condition, free from dents or significant wear. The crystal glass is intact and flawless, preserving the chandeliers' overall beauty. Additionally, one of the chandeliers still retains its original manufacturer’s label inside, adding to its authenticity and value. A true testament to Carl Fagerlund's legacy in lighting design, these chandeliers are a rare find and a perfect addition to any collector's or design enthusiast's home. The indicated height of 30 cm refers to the distance between the brass components at the top and bottom. However, by replacing the cable, the chandelier's height can be extended to suit your needs, allowing it to hang lower, for instance, above a dining table. This customization option makes these highly decorative chandeliers versatile enough to complement a wide range of interior styles, from classic to contemporary.

About the Creator

Carl Fagerlund

Swedish glass and lighting designer Carl Fagerlund was born in 1915. Though information on this designer is limited, it is confirmed that he trained at Stockholm A.C.S., qualifying as a design teacher. From 1946 to 1980, he worked as a designer at the venerable Swedish glassworks Orrefors, renowned for its high-quality crystal and art glass.

Fagerlund is best known for his chandeliers, pendants, and table lamps, typically incorporating intricate and ornate glasswork.

About the Maker

Lyfa

Danish lighting company Lyfa was originally founded ca. 1924 under the name of Københavns Lampe Og Lysekronefabrik in the early 20th century. Based in the greater Copenhagen area and renamed Lyfa ca. 1930, the firm began producing table lamps inspired by the multi-shaded PH Series (from 1925) by Poul Henningsen for Louis Poulsen. Lyfa's lighting continued to show this influence through the 1940s.

By the 1950s, Lyfa had built an international reputation for original, high-quality, modernist lamps. In the postwar era, the company collaborated with esteemed architects and designers to produce minimalist, sculptural, "Space Age" table lamps, wall lights, and pendants, especially in colored glass, plastic, and enameled aluminum.

Bent Karlby, in particular, created a number of successful designs for Lyfa in the 1960s, such as the Kvadrille Wall Light, Omega Pendant, Pan-Opticon Wall Light, Påfugl/Peacock Wall Light, and Wonderlamp Pendant. One of Lyfa's most iconic designs is the Facet Pendant (1963/66), as well as its successor, the polychrome Facet Pop Pendant (1970) by Louis Weisdorf. It's also believed that Lyfa was the main producer of Orrefors lighting and designer Carl Fagerlund.

Other standout Lyfa collaborators in the midcentury include Michael Andersen, Acton Bjørn, Claus Bonderup, Piet Hein, Klaus Helweg-Larsen, Simon Henningsen, Finn Juhl, and Nils and Eva Koppel.

In its heydey—from the 1950s to mid-1970s—Lyfa was considered a pioneer in innovative, architectural lighting. Along the way, the company received numerous awards—including multiple International Forum Product Design Awards. Lyfa merged with Danish lighting competitor Fog & Mørup in the mid '70s. The new company operated as Lyfa-Fog & Mørup until the 1980s when it was taken over by a mass-market lighting producer, Lyskaer, and the Fog & Mørup brand was abandoned. That company has since changed hands, with the Lyfa label currently owned (but largely discontinued) by Nordlux of Ålborg.
