Lisa Johansson-Papé Ihanne Floor Lamp with Rattan Shade, Orno Stockmann 1950s

A beautiful Ihanne floor lamp by Lisa Johansson-Papé, crafted from brass, leather, and acrylic with a rattan diffuser, exuding a gorgeously patinated charm. This lamp effortlessly complements mid-century interiors as well as classic, organic, and rustic spaces. It retains its original beautifully patinated leather, while the diffuser has been thoughtfully updated with rattan wooden slats, a popular contemporary touch. The original brass parts have been polished. A striking vintage piece, the Ihanne lamp gained widespread popularity in Finland, appearing in various iterations of stems, materials, and shades, gracing both public buildings and private homes.

A hallmark of its design is the dual-directional light, shining both upward and downward—a simple yet brilliant feature that highlights Lisa Johansson-Papé’s functional yet elegant approach. Known primarily for her lighting designs, she prioritized functionality before aesthetics, a philosophy that earned her multiple medals at the Milan Triennials in the 1950s. Her career included designing furniture for Stockmann before focusing on lighting for Orno Oy, solidifying her legacy as one of Finland’s most influential designers.
