1950s Mauri Almari model K11-17 table lamp for Idman. A rare model executed in red enameled metal and brass. The shades can be raised and lowered. Reminiscent of Paavo Tynell's iconic designs for Taito Oy. An incredibly refined table lamp that is quintessentially Finnish in its conception and execution.
A contemporary of Paavo Tynell, the innovative work of Mauri Almari has made him an increasingly valued midcentury Finnish designer for collectors in the know.
