About the Item

A beautiful pair of rare floor lamps by Idman from the 1950s. This model is attributed to Maria Lindeman, who was one of the head designers at the leading light manufacturer Idman, along side Paavo Tynell and Mauri Almari. Others attribute this model to Msuri Almari. Either or, both were great designers for Idman. The floor lamps are quite modernistic with a heavy solid brass leg and a narrowing teak stem that ends with a brass puck and spike. Both stamped Idman. The elecrtic parts and the shades have been renewed with linen / cardboard fabric. The natural toned fabric plays very well with the teak and brass parts of the the lamp. Otherwise, the lamp parts are in original condition and left as is, unpolished as they have beautiful patina. Maria Lindemann graduated from the design school "Taideteollisuuskeskuskoulu", now known as the Aalto University School of Arts, Design, and Architecture just when the second world ended. In 1953 Lindemann took part in a competition of lighting fixtures, announced by the Idman company, which resulted in a full-time job as an artistic designer. Idman became the leading light manufacturers in Finland that then acquired Taito just around that same time. Lindeman’s designs varied from modern to classical designs. During the 1950s and 1960s, Lindeman became one of the voices in constructing Finnish modernism, and a participating member in the formulation of the Golden Age of Finnish design.

Commissioned Pair of Paavo Tynell / Paul Boman 1948 floor lamps, Taito 1940s
By Paavo Tynell, Paul Boman
Located in Helsinki, FI
A beautiful pair of commissioned floor lamps by Paul Boman/Paavo Tynell for the United Paper Mills (Yhtyneet paperitehtaat) club house in Jämsänkoski. P. Boman / Oy Taito Ab, c. late 1940s. We acquired these lamps directly from the club house. As these lamps were commissioned for a more classic and formal place, the overall design was reflective of the settings. The lamp legs were made of wood rather than the usual brass-rattan combination. The middle part retained the Tynell hallmark brass switch "box" and is lit by 3 lamps and finally the upper part also reminds us of the Tynell classic Chinese hat lamps, but with a more formal twist. A beautiful unique pair that suits formal spaces, reading rooms and libraries, or any interior with a classic vibe. The United Paper Mills is an important company in Finnish industrial history that helped build and shape industrial towns around Finland. The company is now a multi-billion euro firm that is still functioning. The Jämsänkoski deputy's manor house that was turned into the company's club house, to where these lamps were commissioned, hosted endless important meetings and parties and accommodated many prominent state visitors such as Princess Ann...
