1960s Finnish Conical Black Metal Pendant Lamp Attributed to Mauri Almari. A rare example executed in black painted metal with period-style black painted canopy for mounting over standard US j-box. Highly reminiscent of Paavo Tynell's iconic designs for Taito Oy. An incredibly refined design that is quintessentially Finnish. Unmarked.
A contemporary of Paavo Tynell, the inspired work of Mauri Almari has made him an increasingly valued midcentury Finnish designer by discerning collectors.
