Description
A "30-058" floor lamp designed by Lisa Johansson-Pape for Orno, 1949. Lacquered metal, brass & copper.
Very rare & completely timeless. Original pleated ivory silk shade with handmade braided gimp, patinated copper details. Beautiful vintage condition - some wear to the feet but that's how we like it - this is a real find!! I absolutely love this lamp.
Lisa Johansson-Pape (b. 1907 d. 1989): One of Finland's most innovative lighting designers, using war-time rations she mixed materials and created shapes that brought her designs worldwide fame. "A lamp is not the actual purpose, but more like an instrument. It must fulfill its purpose as a provider of light, but at the same time, it must also satisfy the aesthetic demands. A good light fixture must be simple, and its structure and function must be both neat and correct." -
