Extremely rare nippon lamp, designed by simon p henningsen (son of perhaps the best lamp designer ever - poul henningsen = ph) for lyfa in 1970.
ceiling lamp, model nippon, made of black and red lacquered metal. Manufactured by lyfa in the 1970s.
if you are a collector or passionate about danish design, you might know poul henningsen's son (famous designer, author and artist). His name is simon and like his father, he is a brilliant lighting designer.
simon henningsen was the design director at lyfa back in the 60s together with bent karlby and created some of the most iconic lamps in danish design history.
nippon is the name of this amazing lamp and it is an extremely rare piece of danish design.
the lamp is made of two pieces of lacquered rectangular metal plate with two orange circles inside. Illustrates a sunset, hence the name nippon = japan.
great condition on this lamp, even though it is about 50 years old and original.
i cannot emphasise enough how brilliant and extremely rare these lamps are and their value will only increase in the future.
in the link below, nippon is presented in the lyfa catalogue from 1970:
