Description: This is the so simple and very beautiful "Lokki" (Seagull in Finnish) hanging pendant lamp handmade since the 60's in Finland. Two identical halves of opal white acrylic shades fit together with chrome screws that connect with chrome chains to suspend airily from the round white cord--giving the impression of a flying saucer, hence its other English nickname "Skyflyer". Designed by Yki Nummi (1925-1984) originally for Stockmann-Orno in 1960, it earned a Milano Triennale prize the same year. With his interest in the relationship between matter and light, Yki Nummi was one of the first designers to use the new post war acrylic and plastic materials for lighting, and he created with these simple materials masterpieces of Finnish design now known world wide. This is the smaller of two sizes at 50 cm/19.5" diameter and 12.5" high, and the larger 70 cm/27.5" diameter is available on another listing. Uses 60W standard base or equivalent energy saving bulb for soft ambient light. Comes with standard 1.35 M/53" cord and ceiling cover for direct wiring. Custom lengths of cord can be requested.
