Lyfa - Pan 190 pendant

Lyfa Pan 190 Pendant.

The iconic Pan lamp was designed by Bent Karlby in 1970 and made of 12 polished aluminum tubes. While the lamp elegantly illuminates its glossy exterior through the open pipes, it provides a comfortable downlight and subtle mood lighting through the open top.

The PAN series is a wonderful example of Bent Karlby's unique ability to capture the zeitgeist of an area and create designs that would transcend their inspiration.

In the 1970s, when Pop Art was trending, the early PAN lamps had a colored interior. Today, the luminaires have monochrome anodized aluminum surfaces, transforming them into contemporary design pieces suitable for today's modern life.

Fitting: E27
Max wattage: 60 Watt
Energy class: The luminaire is compatible with lamps of energy classes A ++ - D

Recommended light source: Philips LED 7 W - 806 lumens.

About Bent Karlby.

Bent Karlby (1912–98) came to lighting design late in his career, and was until fairly recently more widely known for his involvement in other fields of the decorative arts, most notably the floral-themed wallpaper designs he created for Dahls Tapetkunst, Göteborg's Tapetfabrik and others, some of which are now held in the permanent collections of major design museums including London's Victoria & Albert.

Karlby is recognised as a fine art painter and his oil paintings were exhibited internationally in the 1940s. He also designed furniture and wrote a seminal book on interior design entitled Bo For To, published in 1942. His lighting designs date from the late 1950s to the early 1970s, and his portfolio includes several of Lyfa's most sought-after designs including the Påfugl and the Kvadrille.
