Opal Glass and Copper Wall Lamps for Sähköliikkeiden Oy, Finland ca 1930s
About the Item
Produced by Sähköliikkeiden Oy, this pair stands as evidence to the era's minimalist aesthetic. These wall lamps are not only embodiment’s of simplicity and elegance, showcasing a design ethos that continues to captivate admirers today, but also illustrate how minimalist design can be so ingenious and expressive at the same time.
The modernistic look of this pair is achieved through the simple yet smart design of the silhouette. The look is almost industrial, yet has the edge of early mid-century modernism. The geometric shape of these lamps is very effective in showcasing the juxtaposition between the opal glass and the painted copper - a classic example of the contrast and harmony that Finnish design often seeks to achieve. Beyond the structural, copper’s aesthetic charm is undeniable; its rich patina and varied finishes transform ordinary interiors into spaces of elegance and sophistication. Furthermore, Finnish designers’ powerful abilities as architects are reflected in many of the lighting designs of the era, including this pair. They are a stylish representation of mature modernism that the Nordic country has been a master of since the 19th century. Overall, the composition of the shapes and materials give these lamps a personality that isn’t loud but still stands out.
The masterful combination of materials, aesthetic and functional design, plus expert craftsmanship is indisputable. The impression of this pair is fresh with a retro touch, and completely alluring with its dedication to quality and practicality. These wall lights are sure to bring interest to any flat surface as a piece of design history.
