Ninotchka pendant lamp from Danish manufacturer Lyfa is a genuine and easily recognizable Nordic design icon, designed by Bent Karlby in 1954. When giving shape to this lamp, Bent Karlby had taken note of an eye-catching hat, worn by the Swedish Hollywood star Greta Garbo in her 1939 film, Ninotchka. The organic body with its asymmetric drapes ensures functional direct downlight and diffused ambient uplight.
The open-top design principle ensures diffused upward lighting while the downlight is even and direct, which makes for a functional as well as ambient lighting experience.
The organic body of the Ninotchka lamp in Scandinavian look and asymmetric drapes are reinforced by the contrasting white inside, allowing for a varied play with light and shadow depending on the viewer’s position.
The original Ninotchka was red with a contrasting white-lacquered inside. Today, the charming pendant in simple, elegant design also comes in white and black. The asymmetrical lamp is crafted from a single shade and is available in three different sizes.
