Lisa Johansson-Papé Brass Ceiling Pendant with Line Perforation, Orno 1950s

A very beautiful ceiling lamp designed by the genius Lisa Johansson-Pape, and manufactured by Orno in the 1950s. This lamp is in full brass with a perforated shade full of tiny dots that form a lovely design across the lamp. When the lights are turned on they look like miniature stars in your ceiling.

Even though it’s a fancy idea, the design is not over the top. On the contrary the lamp is very simplistic in design, which makes it even more elegant. As we all know, less is more.

The lamp is in good condition with a beautiful vintage patina. There are tiny paint stains on the surface of the lamp, that we choose to leave as is in order to preserve the beautiful patina. They can hardly be noticed.

Lisa Johansson-Pape´s first priority when designing was always about the function of the lamp, then the design. After designing furnitures for Stockmann in the 1930s, she moved to lighting designs also for the Stockmann owned company Orno in the 1940s. Some of her lamp designs are still being manufactured today by Innojok and Keraplast.

Lisa won a number of awards for her lighting designs including a gold medal at the 1954 Milan Triennale.
