About This Piece

Vintage Design

This is an amazing pair of Scandinavian pendants by Louis Weisdorf. Weisdorf made the design for the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen in the early 1960s and they were put into production by LYFA for a short while in the mid 1960s. Reputed to be Louis Weisdorf first design and limited in production numbers due to high manufacturing costs these lights are highly sought after. They are stunning geometric pendants with a construction that allows for the bulb to be hidden but consisting of 12 gold anodized metal plates which form a conch-shape allowing the light to omit amazing light effects when lit but equally stunning when not. The model was named Konkylie meaning conch.
