Kai Ruokonen for LYNX Chandelier in Brass and Orange Acrylic

About the Item

Kai Ruokonen for LYNX, chandelier, brass, orange acrylic, Finland, 1952 Kai Ruokonen is a Finnish designer that mostly works under the artist ‘Kai Finnmark’. This chandelier was designed for the Palace Hotel in Helsinki in 1952 and manufactured by LYNX. That same year, Ruokonen also designed a similar shaped lamp for the Vaakuna Hotel in Helsinki. The pendant lamp has a chain suspension that is adjustable in height. The shade itself is created from four layers in brass. Between the inner two brass layers, there is an orange, transparent disk attached. This creates an interesting division and contrast with the brass. The same orange, transparent acrylic is used for an inner shade. Due to the different layers, the light is able to radiate through, which creates a beautiful atmospheric effect. Because of the brass and the orange acrylic the light shines in an elegant, warm hue. This wonderful, atmospheric light fits perfectly with the nicely patinated brass. This lamp is adjustable in height. Kindly be aware that this item is in good, used condition.

  • Angelo Lelii for Arredoluce Chandelier '12701' in Brass and Opaline Glass
    By Angelo Lelii, Arredoluce
    Located in Waalwijk, NL
    Angelo Lelii, Arredoluce, chandelier model ‘12701’, brass, duplex opaline glass, nylon, Italy, design circa 1958 This eccentric chandelier model ‘12701’ is designed by the renowned and talented Italian designer Angelo Lelli for Arredoluce. The design features five diffusers executed in beautiful white opaline glass, radiating a soft and delicate light through the room. The frame in black lacquered polished brass creates this spatial arrangement of the pendants that are attached to it, which ensures that the light is evenly divided. Lelii decided to stay modest with the suspension of the light diffusing body by implementing four nylon cables. Paolo Angelo Lelii (1911-1979) was born in Ancona, Italy. After his studies at the Superior Institute of Industrial Art, Milan, he lived and worked in Monza. From 1943, Lelii started manufacturing lamps in his own house and in 1946 he advertised his well-known 'Tris...
