Based in the greater copenhagen area and renamed lyfa ca. 1930, the firm began producing table lamps inspired by the multi-shaded ph series (from 1925) by poul henningsen. By the 1950s, lyfa had built an international reputation for original, high-quality, modernist lamps. In the postwar era, the company collaborated with esteemed architects and designers to produce minimalist, sculptural, "space age" table lamps, wall lights, and pendants, especially in colored glass, plastic, and enameled aluminum.
