Gunnel Nyman Ceiling Lamp Model 20491 for Idman

About the Item

Gunnel Nyman (1909-1948) was mostly a Finnish glass and metal artist, and one of the founders of modern Finnish glass design. Nyman`s glassware is exhibited in museums around the world. Nyman studied furniture design in Helsinki under Arttu Brummer and worked initially in the functionalist style. She also created metalworks for ecclesiastical use as well as lighting, which she designed in collaboration with the Taito metalsmiths. Unfortunately Nyman died at a very young age, and Finland lost one of it´s most established and promising designers. This lamp is stamped Idman. Everything is in original condition except the rattan whish was renewed on the original shade frame. The Archive picture shows a version of this lamp with a paper/cardboard shade. The shades were ordered to preference and were available in rattan, fabrics, plastic and paper cardboard. Also the stem was ordered according to the height of the room in question. This lamp would easliy brighten up any interior and add a definitely significant design touch to it.
