About the Item
A refined mid-century flush-mount ceiling light with a softly pleated textile shade and warm brass detailing – a rare piece of Nordic lighting design. Sitting close to the ceiling, it emits a gentle, even glow and brings a sense of warmth and quiet sophistication to a space.
The domed profile diffuses light evenly, creating a soft halo effect when illuminated. The warm-toned textile gives the lamp a light, airy presence, while the brass center fitting adds depth and material richness. Every detail reflects a careful relationship between form, proportion, and light – hallmarks of Nordic craftsmanship.
Produced by Idman Oy in Finland in the 1950s as model K5-25, this flush mount reflects the high point of Finnish mid-century lighting. The lamp is stamped by the manufacturer on the inner metal structure, concealed beneath the pleated shade. Pieces of this quality and condition are increasingly scarce, making it a compelling find for collectors and design lovers alike.
Timeless in design and quietly distinctive in character, this lamp brings atmosphere and enduring Nordic elegance to both private homes and thoughtfully curated interiors.
