Lisa Johansson-Pape for Orno, '1088' pendant lamp, blown glass, oiled silk, chrome-plated steel and metal, Finland, ca. 1951
Lisa Johansson-Pape began designing lighting for Orno in 1942, continuing the legacy of Gunilla Jung, whose distinctive glass designs had formed an important part of the manufacturer’s earlier production. Drawing upon one of Jung’s existing glass shades, Johansson-Pape developed model 1088, by introducing a broad, delicately constructed outer shade surrounding the original glass form.
This particular example features an elegant, softly tapered glass diffuser in a delicate beige hue, adorned with golden strips. Surrounding the glass diffuser is a broad, shallow conical shade, intricately constructed from pleated oiled silk, a particularly rare variation compared to the more commonly encountered wooden versions.
