About the Item

This sculptural pendant lamp, model Nift, was produced by IKEA during the 1960s and reflects the experimental yet functional spirit of Scandinavian design from the period. Constructed in painted metal, the lamp features an interlocking geometric structure in red and off-white, creating a strong visual rhythm while softly diffusing light. The design is characteristic of IKEA’s early lighting production, when bold forms and modular construction were explored alongside affordability and practicality. The layered metal elements give the lamp an architectural quality, making it equally suited as a statement piece in a modern interior or as part of a curated mid-century lighting collection. The lamp is in good vintage condition, with minor surface wear consistent with age and use. Electrical components are original, and the piece has been preserved with its authentic patina intact.
