Description
This iconic UFO-shaped ceiling pendant designed by Lisa Johansson-Pape, was highly popular in 1950s in Finland and remains a sought-after piece today. Found in both public buildings and private residences, its timeless design blends functionality with elegant simplicity.

Lisa Johansson-Pape (1907–1989) was a pioneering Finnish designer celebrated for her lighting and furniture. A functionalist at heart, she prioritized a lamp’s purpose before its aesthetics, resulting in designs that are as practical as they are beautiful. After designing furniture for Stockmann, she focused on lighting for Orno Oy (a Stockmann-owned company), earning international acclaim—including multiple medals at the Milan Triennials in the 1950s.
This lamp is a testament to her enduring influence in Scandinavian mid-century design. A rare and functional piece for collectors and design aficionados alike. -
