About the Item
A Finnish mid-century ceiling light defined by its cylindrical wooden slat shade and solid brass stem. The shade is constructed from closely spaced vertical wooden slats, stitched together horizontally, creating a rhythmic, graphic surface that softly filters the light. The interior diffuser produces a warm, even glow, while the brass stem and ceiling canopy add a restrained metallic contrast. The wood shows natural patina with small marks and tonal variations that underline its age and authenticity.
This type of ceiling light reflects Nordic modernism of the 1960s, when lighting design often combined natural materials with clean, functional forms. While the exact designer and manufacturer remain unknown, the construction, material choices, and proportions are consistent with Finnish production from the period. The use of wood in lighting was closely tied to local material heritage and a broader interest in warmth and atmosphere within modernist interiors.
A strong yet calm lighting piece that brings character and mood to a space. Hung above a dining table, in a living room, or as a statement in a hallway, it adds a warm mid-century presence without overpowering its surroundings. The combination of brass and wood works equally well in modern, Nordic, or more eclectic interiors.
