LYFA Divan 2 Pendant - Original

Description

The Divan 2 pendant by LYFA is a truly a work of art and an important part of Scandinavian design histgory.  The carefully positioned trapezoids - mirror on the outside and multicoloured on the inside - enact a fascinating display of indirect light. The downlight is soft and comfortable. A sculptural piece of art, still hand-assembled to perfection.

In 1962, Simon P. Henningsen designed the pendant for the Divan 2 restaurant in Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen. The restaurant offered spectacular views over the garden lake, and at night, the pendant’s mirrored surfaces were designed to catch the light from the colorful exterior lighting and the lake.

When it was time for the famous fireworks, the lights inside the restaurant would dim, and the lamps ascended towards the ceiling to allow guests an unobscured view of the show. The success of the DIVAN 2 went well beyond Copenhagen’s beloved amusement park as LYFA started offering the lamp for the general public. DIVAN 2 was bestowed with several Danish and international design awards. In 1963, it was even exhibited at the Louvre in Paris.

Available in various sizes.
