A large and elegant Finnish flush mount ceiling light, model 1241, manufactured by Valinte in Finland in the 1950s. This piece is a prime example of mid-century Finnish design, where simplicity and function converge to create a timelessly elegant form. The lamp features a pleated synthetic shade diffuser framed with brass coils and a brass cup with a spring decoration in the style of Paavo Tynell.

This model exemplifies the exceptional lighting produced by the leading Finnish manufacturers of the period, a group that included Valinte, Itsu, Taito, Idman, and Orno. The lamp is stamped with the Valinte mark, confirming its authentic provenance. The lamp also has a height adjustable mechanism to make it fit seemlesly regardless of the hook size on the roof.
