Gold and orange Konkylie pendant by Louis Weisdorf for Lyfa, 1960s

Louis Weisdorf, the renowned Danish architect and designer, created this Konkylie pendant in 1963. It was produced by lighting manufacturer Lyfa as from 1964.

Konkylie consists of 12 thin metal slats that, elegantly bent, form a conch-like shape. The geometric structure allows the pendant to emit an amazing light effect. The striking design with the gold-anodized outer is equally beautiful when unlit.

Weisdorf designed four versions of Konkylie. We have the gold-anodized with two shades of orange inside in our collection. This stunning version was originally designed for the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen.
