The Butterfly pendant is designed by Lars Schiøler in 1968 for Hoyrup Light and this is the 40cm version.
This pendant is comprised of orange plastic sheets, folded and attached to each other. All sheets are fixed to a round metal ring, which also holds the bulb mount.
So good original condition
Dimensions
Diameter 50cm
Height 40cm
The thin plastic sheets creates a soft diffused light when lit, and the color turns darker creating the illusion of a band around the middle, where the folded plastic sheets overlap each other. Lars Schiøler designed a number of these plastic folded lights for Hoyrup Lighting in the late 1960s.
It is very rare that you find these pendant lights in a very good condition due to the fact that the light bulbs in the 60s and 70s got so warm. . This one is in amazing condition exceptso so nonshown tiny place . no shifts or breaks in the orange sides. Standard light bulb. I try to make the pictures reflect the true look, color and condition of the piece
