About the Item

Itsu was a Finnish lighting manufacturer active during the mid-20th century, a period when Finnish design gained international recognition for its balance of craftsmanship, material sensitivity, and modern form. Working within the context of Scandinavian modernism, Itsu’s designs reflected the era’s focus on warmth, practicality, and refined simplicity. Finnish lighting from this period often combined natural materials with brass and glass, creating objects that feel both modern and inviting. This model “EV-47” table lamp is a strong example of this approach, combining elegant proportions with rich material contrast. The lamp features a curved, sculptural wooden stem, resting on a circular brass base that adds visual weight and stability. Perhaps the most eye- catching detail is the brass spiral that acts almost like a belt, hugging the stem. The brass elements provide a refined counterpoint to the organic wood. The metal is placed masterfully to harmoniously complement the wood while not overpowering it. Not only this, but the shade is crafted in a slatted structure, creating a gently tapered silhouette that diffuses light in a soft and atmospheric way. Its layered construction introduces texture and depth, allowing light to pass through in a subtle, patterned glow rather than direct brightness. When illuminated, the shade produces a warm ambient effect that enhances the natural qualities of the materials. Every component feels carefully considered, from the slender wrapped stem to the harmonious relationship between base, body, and shade. The result is a lamp that feels grounded yet elegant, decorative without excess, and unmistakably mid-century in character. Rather than pursuing strict minimalism, this lamp emphasizes atmosphere, texture, and soft illumination - values that are central to mid-century Nordic interiors. As a result, this piece represents both quality manufacturing and enduring aesthetic appeal, making it a desirable addition for collectors and chic interiors alike.
