Crafted in the 1950s, this lamp features a sophisticated blend of brass and lacquered metal, forming a sculptural, layered structure that uniquely diffuses light. The design is characterized by overlapping curved metal slats that create an organic, shell-like silhouette, adding to the lamp’s striking visual appeal and enhancing the interplay of light and shadow. The konkylie model is distinguished by its three-dimensional geometric form, which reflects weisdorf’s approach to functional and adaptable lighting. The warm brass finish gives the lamp an elegant presence, while the lacquered metal elements introduce a subtle contrast in tone. When illuminated, the light filters through the curved layers, producing a dynamic and atmospheric effect, highlighting the lamp’s sculptural and functional qualities. This lamp stands as a testament to weisdorf’s mastery of combining art and functionality in lighting design, with its innovative form and ability to create a warm, inviting ambiance. Its unique structure makes it a sought-after piece, exemplifying the timeless qualities of mid-century scandinavian lighting.
