78476 Impi Sotavalta Finnish Flatweave Rug, 06'06 x 09'07. Bold yet disciplined, this handwoven Finnish flatweave captures the intellectual elegance of early 20th-century design at its most refined. At once architectural and expressive, it channels the confident geometry of Art Deco through the restrained clarity of Bauhaus philosophy. The striated brick red and mauve backdrop glows with a softened intensity, creating a foundation that feels grounded, cultivated, and deeply considered. This is not merely a rug—it is a design statement intended for interiors where art, architecture, and lifestyle intersect. At the heart of the exceptional composition, an abstract composite emerges from superimposed geometric fragments. Angular blocks, stepped forms, and cross-like emblems interlock with deliberate asymmetry, creating a dynamic tension that feels both cerebral and playful. The blunt outlining reinforces structure, while subtle tonal shifts soften the rigidity, allowing this extraordinary masterpiece to breathe. There is movement here—an orchestrated rhythm that reveals itself slowly, rewarding the attentive eye. Symbolically, the interlocking forms evoke construction, progress, and human ingenuity—hallmarks of the modernist era in which Finnish designers sought to harmonize craft with innovation. The stepped shapes suggest elevation and momentum, while the iconic cross motifs imply balance and alignment. Earth-infused hues—dusty rose, muted terracotta, soft olive, and warm clay—temper the geometry with warmth, ensuring the design feels inviting rather than austere. It is this rare balance between intellect and intimacy that defines its appeal. Placed within a curated interior—whether a refined modernist residence, a gallery-like living space, or a thoughtfully layered Scandinavian-inspired retreat—this exquisite work of art becomes an anchor of cultivated taste. Pieces of this conceptual clarity and chromatic confidence are increasingly sought by collectors who value design history and artisanal authenticity. This is woven modernism at its most elegant: intentional, expressive, and unmistakably distinguished. Rendered in variegated shades of brick red, mauve, brown, pink, orange, and tan with other accent colors. Possibly produced by Suomen Kasityon Ystavat...

The “Crane” is evidence why Tapio Wirkkala can be described as one of the icons of Finnish design and a symbol of the international success of post-war Finnish design. He was a versatile designer and artist who could shift fluently between different materials and crossed established professional boundaries. Wirkkala’s far-reaching career spanned multiple fields, from furniture design to sculpture and other art objects, and this can be clearly traced in this floor lamp. It functions as an art object just as much as a utilitarian lamp. With its slender shape and a brass and black lacquered body, this lamp is a great modernist piece that stands out in any space. The ingenious structure allows the height to be adjustable, and the design customizable. The main design elements are placed around the main functional parts, namely the shade, the adjusting rod, and the base. The sculptural brass rods cross each other similarly to a crane, and inspired the nickname of this model. The black lacquered conical shade and base, as well as the spherical counterweight stand out against the bright brass and add a modern edge to the design. The shade is lacquered white inside, creating a pleasant effect when the lamp is lit. Idman’s label engraved on the brass handle. Idman produced the models of some of the most renowned Finnish lighting designers of the time, including Tapio Wirkkala, Mauri Almari and Maria Lindeman. Unlike other aesthetic movements, Mid-Century Modern design was streamlined, while highlighting the materials used. The vibe of this “Crane” floor lamp is fresh, retro-tinged, and completely alluring with its dedication to quality and practicality wrapped up in beautiful design that will never go out of style. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The brass has a beautiful patina. Dimensions: 26.37 in W x 7.08 in D x 51.39 in H (height is adjustable) 67 cm W x 18 cm D x 128 cm H (height is adjustable) Literature: Tuula Sakalari, Katri Lehtova, Werner Söderström, “Suomalaisia Tuolej”, Osakeyhtio, Helsinki, 2012, pp. 96 & 97 About the designer: Tapio Wirkkala (1915-1985) can be described as one of the icons of Finnish design and a symbol of the international success of post-war Finnish design. He was a versatile designer and artist who could shift fluently between different materials and crossed established professional boundaries: he worked on everything from refrigerators to banknotes and from furniture to striking jewels. The most important materials for Wirkkala were wood and glass – he never ceased to explore the possibilities they offer. Tapio Wirkkala studied sculpture at the Helsinki Central School of Industrial Design from 1933 until 1936, but he was also a self-studied artist in many areas, including glass design. His success as a glass artist began in 1946 when he designed one of his most famous works, the Kantarelli vase, for Iittala. Wirkkala gained worldwide success in 1951 at the Milan Triennial, where he received three Grand Prix awards: for the exhibition architecture, glass design and wooden sculptures. Many of his glass works for Iittala were also awarded later in the 1950s at the Milan Triennial. In the years 1951-1954, Wirkkala worked as the artistic director of Helsinki Central School of Industrial Design. In 1955, he received a Pro Finlandia medal and in 1972 the Academy of Finland's honorary title of academician. The first mass-production glassware range designed by Wirkkala was the Tapio series launched in 1954. The popular Ultima Thule glassware range, created in 1968, was based on the so-called ice glass technique, and the designer himself was involved in developing it at the Iittala glass factory. Wirkkala also received important commissions from abroad: in the mid-1960s he started to design glass objects for Venini Glassworks in Italy, where he created the Bolle bottles for the Venice Biennale collection in 1966. One of Wirkkala’s most significant commissions abroad was the work at the Rosenthal porcelain factory in Germany: he worked as a freelance designer for Rosenthal for almost 30 years, and the most influential result was the Paper Bag vase (1977), still today one of Rosenthal’s best-selling products. Tapio Wirkkala was also a furniture designer and a sculptor. He started his career as a sculptor in the 1930s, but abandoned the traditional sculpture in the post-war years. The result was a series of unique plywood sculptures which combined form and movement in the vibrant, densely lineated surface of plywood. Wirkkala’s sculptures represented exceptional abstractionism and gave Finnish sculpture...
