Danish modern Trenta pendant light designed by Bent Karlby for Lyfa, 1960s

Designed by Danish architect-designer Bent Karlby and produced by Lyfa in the 1960s, the Trenta is a multi-layered pendant light with a perspex core that produces glare-free but effective illumination. Measuring 34.5 cm in diameter and with a height of 18 cm, the Trenta was originally produced in three colourways (as shown in the original advertisement reproduced here), of which this example is the greeny-blueish grey version, perhaps best described as gunmetal grey. The lamp is in good condition overall with general scuffing and wear to the paintwork (see photos) and takes a standard E27 Edison screw bulb max 75 w (not supplied).
