Danish Modern Teak And Brass Chandelier By Bent Karlby For Lyfa, Denmark, 1960s

Chairish

$1,950

An exceptionally rare five-arm chandelier designed by Bent Karlby for Lyfa, Denmark, dating to the 1960s. A sculptural and highly collectible example of Danish Modern lighting design at its most refined. Crafted in solid teak and brass, the chandelier features five elegantly curved arms radiating from a beautifully turned teak core. Each arm supports a tall conical opaline glass shade, producing a warm, diffused light that contrasts beautifully with the richness of the teak and the golden tone of the brass. The design reflects Karlby’s distinctive 1960s aesthetic — organic yet architectural, minimal yet expressive. The interplay between sculpted wood, flowing brass lines, and elongated glass forms gives the piece a subtle space-age presence while remaining firmly rooted in Scandinavian modernism. The five-arm version is particularly scarce and rarely encountered on the market, making this a highly desirable collector’s piece. A striking statement chandelier, ideal above a dining table or as a sculptural focal point in a curated mid-century interior.
