About the Item
It is simply impossible to talk about 20th century lighting design without mentioning Finland and the Finnish “masters of light”. By the 1950s and 60s, Finland had established itself as a force for innovation in design.
Like most lighting fixtures of the period, the design of these wall lamps assumes a more minimalist look, yet is coupled with subtle decorative elements that add to the uniqueness of the pair. The materials chosen for their creation speak to the designer's commitment to quality and longevity. Brass, a quintessential material in 1960s design, constitutes the lamps’ back-plates, and stem providing a durable and lustrous foundation. The shades are delicately crafted from opaline glass to soften the glow of the light emitted, casting a warm and inviting ambience. The milky translucence of the opaline also evokes a sense of ethereal beauty and warmth. Hanging from the brass stems, the shades look as if they are imitating a pair of wilting flowers. At their most basic level, mid-century modern designs are known for juxtaposing sleek lines with organic shapes, using new materials and methods to re-imagine traditional pieces. These wall lamps are perfect examples of this pursuit, with a modern look that isn’t a complete departure from the past.
The aesthetic purity and timeless elegance of Finnish design continues to resonate, shaping the way we perceive and appreciate the marriage of art and utility in everyday objects. This pair is sure to make a lovely addition to both traditional and contemporary spaces.
