About the Item
This elegant, sculptural table lamp is a distinctive piece exemplifying Finnish designer, Mauri Almari’s artistic design language. In addition to the aesthetic dimension, the quality of this lamp is also true to it’s Finnish heritage.
The model “K11-21” lamp has a classic, inherently stylish design that contemporary pieces still try to mimic. Like many of the decade’s designs, this table lamp masterfully pairs materials and textures. As a result, the design has an essentially mid-century modern look thanks to the understated, but unique design choices. The defining feature is undoubtedly the sculpted brass body with a teardrop shape. The polished surface shows off the brass’s beautiful patina, while the elongated necks enhance the thickness of the lower parts. The thin neck is also a visual bridge connecting the cylindrical fabric shade to the body. The white fabric is a beautiful material match to the brass, just like the shape. Instead of creating tension, the contrasting shape and materials bring the design into perfect balance. The black lacquered sockets and twisted fabric cords add extra points of visual and material interest. This lamp is just as captivating from afar as it is up close.
While certain lighting fixture designs go in and out of style, some lamps remain forever stylish. This “K11-21” model is one such design thanks to its timeless aesthetic and quality; it is certain to look good with various furniture pieces and interior styles.
