About the Item

By the 1950s, Finland had firmly established itself as a force for innovation in design. The most distinctive qualities of Finnish light fixtures are their functionalist form that is not short of subtle decorative elements, adding a cozy, atmospheric glow. Not only were Finnish models beautifully decorated, the ornamental elements were also quite distinctive compared to other European models. With its iconic mid-century design, this 'ER 68/6' chandelier effortlessly captures the essence of the era's aesthetic, marrying form and function in a timeless piece that complements both modern and vintage interiors alike. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the 'ER 68/6' chandelier boasts a sleek brass frame that exudes understated elegance. Its graceful silhouette features six opal glass shades delicately nestled within the brass frame, casting a soft, inviting glow that transforms any room into a sanctuary of style and ambiance. The chandelier's design is a testament to the mid-century aesthetic, characterized by clean lines and a harmonious balance of materials. Its timeless appeal makes it a versatile addition to a variety of interior styles. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The brass has a beautiful patina.
