From the compact and portable FUTÉ 180 to new larger pendants and architectural applications, the collection grows while preserving its essence: a refined balance of canvas, ceramic, and metal, shaped by @gamfratesi ’s approach to functionality.
Softly diffused light to shape atmosphere across different spaces.

NINOTCHKA, designed by Bent Karlby in 1954, is a genuine and easily recognizable icon. Inspired by the sculptural hat worn by Greta Garbo in the 1939 film Ninotchka, its organic form and asymmetric drapes translate a moment of fashion into a lasting lighting design.
Across the family, the open-top construction provides diffused uplight and even, direct downlight, creating a balanced and atmospheric lightscape. A study in contrasts that continues to define Karlby’s distinctive design language.

At LYFA, we partner with architects and designers to adapt existing designs or develop bespoke lighting solutions that respond directly to each project’s needs. From custom finishes to adjusted proportions to refined details, every solution is shaped with intention.
Our agile process ensures fast prototyping, careful material selection, and design integrity from concept to completion.
A recent example is the collaboration with GamFratesi for Puro Hotel, where selected lamps were reinterpreted with a bespoke bronze finish and softer proportions, creating a calm interplay of light and material throughout the space.

Bent Karlby (1919–1998) stands as one of Denmark’s most versatile lighting designers of the 20th century. His collaboration with LYFA began in the 1940s and continued for nearly four decades — shaping a legacy defined by innovation and clarity of vision.
Known for his soft light, organic shapes, and hallmark peepholes, Karlby continuously evolved his design language, later exploring pure geometric forms such as cones, cylinders, and arcs, often combined with playful colours.
Working independently throughout his career, he remained uncompromising in his approach. Today, his designs — from PEANUT and MOSAIK to NINOTCHKA, PAN, and beyond — continue to define a distinct chapter in Danish lighting. Find his pieces at LYFA.com
From pendant to wall — NINOTCHKA evolves.
Originally designed by Bent Karlby in 1954, the iconic silhouette is reintroduced as a wall-mounted edition. The organic form and asymmetric drapes translate seamlessly into a sculptural wall piece, delivering direct downlight and diffused ambient uplight. A new chapter for a genuine design icon.
