Description

Lyfa’s Sundowner pendant light, designed by Jørn Utzon in 1948, is characterised by an elegant construction that not only reflects its time but also many visual and technical features typical of Utzon’s work. The lamp’s metal shade consists of four opposite-facing shells whose shape might make you think of another famous work by Utzon: the Sydney Opera House.

Although Utzon is best known as an architect, light and lighting were constant sources of inspiration for him throughout his life. He actually began his career by producing his own lighting designs by hand, and later implemented many of the principles he had learned during that time into his architecture. Sundowner is one of the designs Utzon created years before the Sydney Opera House, which eventually became his most famous and celebrated work.

The name Sundowner evokes images of warm summer evenings and the last rays of light before the sun sets below the horizon. The pendant light is designed to provide pleasantly soft lighting that mimics and prolongs the ambience of sunset, whatever the season and geographical location. Sundowner’s light is mostly directed downwards, making it ideally placed over a dining table, but some light also escapes through the gaps between the shells illuminating the top and bottom shades – as if the sun was just dipping below the horizon.

Jørn Utzon

Jørn Utzon (1918-2008) was a Danish architect, best known for designing the Sydney Opera House in Australia. Utzon attended the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts from where he gratuated in 1942. During the following years he worked also at Alvar Aalto's office, learning more about functionalism and aesthetics. Utzon won the architecture competition for Sydney Opera House in 1957.

Utzon often referred to the Swedish architect Erik Gunnar Asplund along with Alvar Aalto and Frank Lloyd Wright as his architectural kin. After travelling through Europe, the United States and Mexico, Utzon established his own practice in Copenhagen, working mainly as an architect throughout the world. In 2003, he received the Pritzker Prize, architecture's highest honor.
