L1F3

A stylized rendering of the word LIFE

The L1F3 lamp, a floor lamp from Hilykan, takes its name and its shape from the word LIFE, stylized into curving metal leaves that flare outward from a solid base, echoing the reach of a coconut frond stretching upward toward the light.

PVD-plated metal leaves on a stone base

Each leaf is shaped metal with a PVD-plated finish, and the number of leaves can be customized. The cluster rises from a solid, naturally veined stone base that gives the L1F3 lamp a tall, grounded stance, closer to the trunk of a tree than a conventional lamp base. The contrast between the reflective metal leaves and the raw, textured stone base is central to the piece, pairing a refined, machine-plated surface with a rough, grounded, natural one.

A tall floor piece built for a real room

Standing H1800 x W500 mm, the L1F3 lamp is a floor lamp meant to anchor a space rather than sit quietly on a surface, sized to read clearly in a living room, lobby, or gallery-style interior. Its overall scale is closer to a small sculpture than a standard lamp, so it works best somewhere it has room to be seen from more than one angle. At just under two meters tall, it holds its own even in a room with high ceilings or other large, statement furniture pieces nearby.

Light rising through the leaves

A concealed LED is hidden within the stone base, and its warm 3000K light rises gradually upward through the gaps between the metal leaves. As the leaves flare open toward the top, the light blooms outward with them, so the glow and the form open together.

A gradient of light along the form

The light softens gradually as it travels toward the tips of the leaves, creating a gentle gradient across the entire piece rather than one single point of brightness. The effect reads like a flame or a young shoot catching light, turning illumination into a symbol of growth. Seen from across a room, the L1F3 lamp reads less like a fixture switched on and more like a living form quietly glowing from within. This gradual, unhurried build of brightness is part of what gives the piece its quiet presence in a room after dark.

Where the L1F3 lamp belongs

Given its height and sculptural presence, the L1F3 lamp suits an entryway, a living room corner, a hotel lobby, or any space with enough room to let its full silhouette read clearly against a wall or open floor area. It also pairs well with minimal, neutral interiors, where its metal and stone silhouette can stand out as the main visual statement in the room. Placed near a window or a plain wall, it also casts a soft, layered shadow pattern from the gaps between its leaves after dark.

Caring for your L1F3 lamp

Dust the metal leaves and stone base regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners on the PVD-plated finish, since harsh chemicals can dull its surface over time. A light, regular dusting is usually enough to keep both the metal leaves and the stone base looking their best.

Placement and handling

Because the stone base carries the full weight of the piece, place the L1F3 lamp on a stable, level floor away from heavy foot traffic. Given its considerable height, it is best handled by two people when moving it, lifting carefully from the solid base rather than the metal leaves. Please check with the Hilykan team through the contact page for current guidance on moving or relocating the piece.
