About the Item
Elegant Finnish functionalist floor lamp from the 1940s, crafted from birch and brass. The design captures the essence of Nordic modernism — where simplicity, craftsmanship, and practicality are seamlessly combined.
The turned birch base and stem are paired with a curved brass arm supporting a new conical fabric shade. The adjustable brass joint allows the light to be directed, making the lamp ideal for reading or accent lighting. The piece’s natural materials and timeless proportions reflect the Finnish design ethos of the era — honest, warm, and functional.
The lamp retains its original brass fittings and warm birch patina, showing subtle wear consistent with age.
