About the Item

A mid-century flush mount ceiling light by Idman, Finland, from the 1950s. The lamp features a circular brass frame with a finely woven synthetic textile diffuser that softens the light evenly across the surface. The clean geometry and restrained materials capture the functional elegance of postwar Finnish lighting design. Produced during a period when Idman was one of Finland’s leading lighting manufacturers, this piece reflects the company’s modernist approach under the influence of designers such as Paavo Tynell and Lisa Johansson-Pape. The combination of warm brass and a light textile shade became characteristic of Idman’s refined yet functional domestic lighting. Simple, warm and practical, this fixture works beautifully as ceiling lighting in an entryway, bedroom or living space. • Diameter 70 cm (27.6”), Height 26 cm (10.2”) • Brass and synthetic textile • Manufacturer: Idman • Period: 1950s • Made in Finland • Very good vintage condition; original fabric with light patina consistent with age ⸻ ABOUT THE MANUFACTURER – Idman Founded in Helsinki in the early 20th century, Idman became one of Finland’s foremost lighting manufacturers, known for its collaborations with leading designers including Paavo Tynell and Lisa Johansson-Pape. The company combined industrial precision with refined craftsmanship, producing lighting that bridged functional design and decorative quality. Idman’s lamps from the 1940s to 1960s are now regarded as key examples of Finnish modern lighting heritage.
