This elegant ceiling lamp was produced by the famed Finnish manufacturer Itsu Oy (which stands for Itä-Suomen Sähkö, or Eastern Finland Electricity), a company renowned for its high-quality lighting by renowned designers of the era. Known for blending functionality with artistic flair, Itsu’s work is a cornerstone of Finland’s rich design heritage, and this rare piece exemplifies their commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. Made of brass with decorative brass accents, the lamp features four yellow opaline glass shades that cast a warm, inviting glow. With its graceful silhouette and refined detailing, this lamp is reminiscent of the iconic works of Paavo Tynell (1890-1973), the Finnish lighting pioneer known for his innovative designs, whose works today are considered the pinnacle of important 20th-century European lighting.
