The Kina pendant lamp, designed by Bent Karlby for the Danish firm Lyfa in 1946, epitomizes vintage Scandinavian modernism of the 1970s. Crafted in satin-finished aluminum with a warm copper hue, the lamp features a series of concentric, horizontal discs that create a deep, geometric silhouette. The largest disc, finished in a creamy tone on its underside, ensures a particularly even diffusion of light. Meticulous craftsmanship is revealed in the absence of visible screws and seamless joints. Suspended from a black textile-covered cord and finished with a new metal canopy, the lamp directs light downward, outward and slightly upward, becoming a visually balanced and harmonious accent in any interior. It is preserved in very good condition, with only minor discolourations characteristic of natural aluminum patina.The lamp's form narrates an era where restraint, clarity, and the search for gentle illumination defined design. Its geometric disks express a post-war sense of optimism and balance, with the aluminum surface subtly reflecting and scattering light into warm, soft pools. The copper tone imparts tranquility, while the precisely shaped rings evoke the atmosphere of Nordic simplicity—prioritizing utility and pure line. This is a lamp that could be imagined softly brightening Danish homes through long winter months, quietly dispelling everyday gloom with measured radiance.For
