Butterfly wall lamp

Northern Butterfly wall lamp.

The Northern's Butterfly wall lamp has an organic / delicate appearance, created by three thin steel panels in the shape of a butterfly's wings - as the name of the wall lamp suggests.

When you turn on this lamp, the wings appear to glow. The elegance of the wall lamp and the indirect soft light it creates around it make the Butterfly lamp more than just a light source: the enchanting wall lamp is a work of art in itself!

This effect is of course enhanced if you hang the Butterfly lamps next to each other in a row of several fixtures on the wall.

Sven I. Dysthe originally designed the Butterfly wall lamp for Arnold Wiigs Fabrikker in 1964.

The Norwegian company Northern put this design treasure back into production in 2008.

About the designer:

Sven Ivar Dysthe (1931 – 2020) was an industrial designer, best known for his furniture. Born in Oslo, Dysthe is still considered one of Norway's most important post-war designers. His career began in the 1940s and 1950s when he worked as an apprentice at one of the most respectable carpentry workshops in Trondheim.

Dysthe then applied to study at the Royal College of Art in London, which had just established a new field of industrial design. His talent was already evident when he studied in London. One of the most notable moments from that time was when he was allowed to design a pincushion box for Queen Elizabeth II on the occasion of her coronation.
