Brass Chandelier with Floral Details by Itsu, Finland ca 1950s

Creator: Itsu
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
Itsu, short for Itä-Suomen Sähkö (eng. Eastern Finland Electricity), was a small, lesser-known manufacturer that produced characteristic models in small quantities. Itsu stands as a beacon of innovation in mid-century modern design. This lamp represents an era in which Finland saw the birth of many of its most iconic lighting models.

Emerging from a golden age of Scandinavian craftsmanship, Itsu's creations epitomize the marriage of form and function. These designs sought to harmonize beauty and utility seamlessly, emphasizing natural materials and timeless simplicity. These qualities are visible in this chandelier. Anchored by an elongated, polished brass stem, the chandelier exudes understated luxury. The three gracefully curved brass arms extend outward, each holding up a frosted glass shade. The frosted glass diffuses light gently, casting a soft and ambient glow that transforms any space into a cosy and comforting environment. On the stem, in between the elegant shades, are delicately crafted floral details which add an organic and whimsical charm to the piece. The overall look of this lamp reflects the maker’s love for nature-inspired motifs. The interplay between the warm, golden brass and the matte, frosted glass creates a visual harmony that feels both timeless and contemporary.

Finnish mid-century design is celebrated for its minimalist sophistication, organic feel, and impeccable attention to detail. These characteristics are perfectly captured in this chandelier, making a wonderful addition to an array of interiors.
