Description
1960s Opaline Glass and Brass Chandelier Attributed to Mauri Almari for Idman. Executed in opaline glass and brass with white cloth cords. Highly reminiscent of Paavo Tynell's iconic designs for Taito Oy. An incredibly refined design that is quintessentially Finnish.
A contemporary of Paavo Tynell, the inspired work of Mauri Almari has made him an increasingly valued midcentury Finnish designer by discerning collectors of fine lighting.
