Maija Heikinheimo Floor Lamp MH801, Valaistustyö for Artek 1950s

About the Item

Maija Heikonheimo worked at Artek side by side with Alvar and Aino Aalto. Although not one of the founders of Artek, she was very influetial at this icnoinc company. She was an interior architect and designed a number of lamps and a lot of well known furniture pieces that were designed in collaboration with Alvar and Aino Aalto. This lamp is ingeniously designed as the shade is intentionally of asymmetrical measuremts to both sides of the stem. Make no mistake however as to the quality of manufacturing, as it was produced by Valaistustyö, one of the leading lighting companies in Finland at the time. The patina of 70 years is evident by beauty scratches on the leather stem of the lamp here and there. The beauty scars also add a unique touch and character to the lamp, and confirm it´s originality.
