Lisa Johansson-Pape, Floor Lamp Model 2063 in Brass & Rattan, Orno 1950s

A rare Lisa Johansson-Papé floor lamp model. 2063 with adjustable rattan shade and a bent leg in brass and black nylon. Manufactured in Finland by Orno in the 1950s.

The lamp is modernistic in look with it’s curved leg and adjustable reflector that is updated with a rattan shade. The stem has a nylon wrap that starts with a darker shade and gets lighter in colour as it goes down. Most probably fading from the sun, but the result is absolutely lovely.

Lisa Johansson-Papé (1907-1989) was a Finnish designer best known for her works in lightings. She paid more attention to the function of the lamp firstly, then the design feature secondly. Lisa designed furniture for Stockmann for a number of years, after which she turned her attention to lamps, also at the Stockmann owned company Orno Oy. She won a number of medals for her lighting designs in the Milan Triennials in the 1950s.
