About the Item

A strikingly modernist ceiling pendant by Finnish designer Kai Ruokonen (Finnmark), defined by its bold brass slats paired with a vivid green acrylic band that wraps around a crisp white diffuser. The result is a sculptural form that channels unmistakable Space Age energy, yet integrates effortlessly into contemporary interiors thanks to its clean geometry and arresting pop of color. The brass slats echo the language of Ruokonen’s well-known Vaakuna lamps, giving the piece both visual continuity and strong collectible appeal. The pendant is preserved in beautiful original condition: the brass carries a warm, rich patina, purposefully left unpolished to maintain its authentic vintage presence. A rare, futuristic Finnish design that brings character, glow, and a touch of mid-century optimism to any space.
