About the Item
This model “ER 112/3” lamp was designed during the mid 20th century, an era in which Finland saw the birth of many of its most iconic lighting models. Design-wise, it was a period of consistency, excellence, and sophistication. Itsu, short for Itä-Suomen Sähkö (eng. Eastern Finland Electricity), was a small, (then) lesser-known manufactory that produced characteristic models in small quantities inspired mainly by Paavo Tynell.
By the 1950s, Finland had established itself as a force for innovation in design. The best qualities of Finnish light fixtures’ are their atmospheric light and disciplined, functionalist structure that is not short of subtle decorative elements. This model shares the characteristic perforated shade holders as the brass chandelier models designed by Mauri Almari for Itsu. The vertical hollow lines enhance the shape of the shade holders and also serve as one of the main decorative elements of the design.
The three symmetrically arranged arms each hold an opal glass shade in a classic bell shape. Cleverly, the shade holders mirror their shape to create a balanced look. This model utilizes the mid-century era’s popular combination of brass and glass; the elongated bell shape of the shades shows off the opal glass and the play of shadows it creates when the light is lit. Accentuating these shapes is the polished brass that features a nice patina. Overall, the composition of the shapes and clever decorative elements give this lamp a personality that isn’t loud but still stands out, which is an essentially Finnish design virtue. The refined work and unique work of Finnish lighting designers has made their creations increasingly valued by collectors in the know.
