Design: Jørn Utzon for LYFA, 1948
Concept: SUNDOWNER 175 is an iconic lamp, designed by Danish Jørn Utzon in 1948. The lamp is inspired by the unique shell-shaped vaults seen on the Sydney waterfront, where Utzon's masterpiece, the Opera House, can also be seen. SUNDOWNER consists of a four-shade construction, where the light is diffused and emphasizes the elegant shapes that help to create a pleasant light inspired by a sunset.
The lamp comes in several different sizes, for example 175, 250 and 400.
The color of this lamp is inspired by Jørn Utzon's idyllic retreat in Mallorca, which he himself built for his wife in the 1970s. The building was created to soak up the light and focus on the traditional Mallorcan Marés sand place, which gives a raw and dusty pink glow. Based on this, LYFA has created a special SUNDOWNER edition in the gray- beige-pink tones called 'Mallorcan', as a tribute to Utzon.
The lamp is dimmable, compatible with a dimmable lightbulb. The canopy is white and measures Ø9x7.5 cm.
