Gold and Orange Facet pendant by Louis Weisdorf for Lyfa, 1960s

Louis Weisdorf, Danish architect and designer, created this gold Facet pendant light in 1963.  Facet consists of 18 identically shaped shades.

The construction of the lamp is a 3-D puzzle, as each piece fits into the neighbouring pieces and the lamp gets its original shape when all pieces are put together and a cylinder is formed. Weisdorf designed two versions, a silver and a gold Facet.

In case you would like to know more about the similarities and the differences between Facet and its successor Facet-Pop we advise you to have a look at the Discover section of our website.
