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.
A refined and timeless example of Maria Kipp’s mid-century lighting design, this vintage woven fiber lampshade showcases her signature checkerboard weave in a soft palette of warm neutrals and pale gold. Subtle tonal shifts give the geometric texture a quiet dynamism, with alternating matte and lustrous threads creating depth across the cylindrical form.
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 16.25" x W 18.25" x D 18.25"
CONDITION:
Good vintage condition with minor wear and patina (discoloration) from age and use including minor losses to wooden tips / ends and some looseness to fabric / threads. Some looseness to fabric on the interior of the shade. Slightly off from being a perfect circle, the board material on the inside of the shade appears that the shade may have been bent slightly at one point.
