Table Lamp by Lisa Johansson-Pape for Stockmann Orno, Finland 1960s

Creator: Lisa Johansson-Pape -Orno Stockmann
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
Finnish designer, Carin Lisa Johansson-Pape, was among the most significant Finnish lighting designers in the second half of the 1900s. She designed furniture for Stockmann from 1937, and from 1942 she designed for the Stockmann owned lighting factory, Orno.

This table lamp has an essentially Nordic modern look, with a combination of interesting material choices and design. The triangular body is made of a solid block of wood and is covered in leather with a polished brass neck under the shade. This trio of materials had been very popular throughout the Nordic countries during the mid-century era, as it lent an innovative, modern look to the designs. The body narrows towards the top, creating the traditional look. The lampshade’s drum shape contributes to this look as well, while it balances out the thick leather wrapped base. The fabric of the shade is in an off-white colour and features a black trim on the edges, allowing for an elegant and stylish look that stands out even more when the lamp is lit. Combined with the dark leather, the lamp offers a variety of points of visual interest.

Johansson-Pape once said "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". This table lamp is a perfect example of this sentiment and would make a lovely addition to any interior.
