About the Item

A rare and striking lampshade designed by German-born, California-based textile artist Maria Kipp, celebrated for her masterful use of handwoven fibers in postwar interiors. This piece exemplifies her signature blend of organic texture and modernist geometry, woven from natural raffia, flax, jute, and metallic threads. Kipp’s textiles were prominently featured in interiors by modernist icons including Paul László, Richard Neutra, and Rudolph Schindler, and her work was widely used in high-end commercial and residential projects throughout mid-century Southern California. *Note, this listing is for the shade only, no lamp is included. However we have many vintage table and floor lamps in stock, contact us if you are interested in pairing a lamp with this shade. Rendered in a palette of soft copper, pale cream, and warm jute, this Maria Kipp lampshade features closely spaced horizontal bands that create a subtle ombré effect as the colors shift down the shade. The weave has an almost basket-like quality, lending a tactile warmth to the piece. With its refined detailing and rich earth tones, this shade would complement interiors ranging from Scandinavian and Japandi to postwar Californian modernism. Highly collectible and increasingly scarce, Kipp’s lampshades offer a sculptural, light-filtering accent ideal for collectors, designers, and enthusiasts of mid-century and California modern design. The blend of earthy, natural materials and refined, architectural patterning gives these shades a timeless versatility, equally at home in desert modern, Scandinavian, Japandi, or wabi-sabi spaces. Whether used on a vintage lamp base or incorporated into a custom lighting installation, this shade brings warmth, history, and handcrafted beauty to any room. MEASUREMENTS: H 19.25" x W 13.25" x D 13.25" CONDITION: Good vintage condition with minor wear and blemishes including minor losses to wooden tips / ends (see photos). An attractive example that is ready for immediate use.
