Lyfa
Danish
Lyfa Lighting is a historic Danish lighting brand founded in Copenhagen in 1903 as Kjøbenhavns Lampe- og Lysekronefabrik. In the early 1930s, it rebranded to LYFA, a name reflecting its commitment to producing high-quality lighting designs.
By the mid-20th century, LYFA emerged as a leader in Danish modern lighting. The brand collaborated with renowned designers such as Bent Karlby, Simon Henningsen, Louis Weisdorf, Piet Hein, Finn Juhl, and Claus Bonderup, developing iconic pieces celebrated for their sculptural aesthetics and innovative light diffusion.
Among LYFA’s most famous designs is the Divan 2 pendant by Simon Henningsen, originally created for Copenhagen’s Tivoli Gardens. Its mirrored and multicolored construction reflects ambient light in a dynamic and atmospheric way. Other standout designs include Karlby’s Mosaik, Pan, Peanut, Kvadrille, and Peacock series, as well as Weisdorf’s bold Facet Pop pendant.
Although the company ceased original production in the late 1990s after various mergers, LYFA was relaunched in 2020. The revival includes faithful reissues of its classic designs, updated with sustainable materials and subtle enhancements for contemporary use—while maintaining the original visual identity and craftsmanship.
Today, Lyfa stands as a cornerstone of Danish design history. Its timeless lighting pieces continue to illuminate interiors with elegance and purpose, appealing to collectors and modern design enthusiasts alike.
