This very rare and elegant table lamp model K11-81 b designed by Tapio Wirkkala, is extremely hard to come by, wich makes this piece a great addition to any collection. It objectifies Wirkkala's superb understanding of geometry and his talent in conveying it with minimal effort.
The lamp comes with an orginal "Tapio Wirkkala design" sticker and Idman stamp on the bottom.
Rarely does a designer command such an expansive talent and career as Wirkkala did. Inspired by nature and armed with exceptional understanding of geomety and ratios, his designs literally shaped much of our daily lives.
Designs ranging from daily items such as money, jewellery, cutlery, working tools, furniture, logos, etc. to purely artistic creations.
You name it, he designed it!
He tackled and mastered all workable materials like marble and stone as a sculptor to wood, fabric, glass, ceramics, metals and plastic. He did it all and can deservingly be named the da Vinci of Finnish design.
