Design Yki Nummi (1955)
Owing to his studies in mathematics and physics, Yki Nummi had a theoretical knowledge of light and its properties. In the 1950s, the design of lamps and light fixtures was perhaps less complex than at present, because the items were not produced in large series and commercial considerations were not paramount. It was possible to experiment and to realize bold concepts. The Modern Art lamp is one such concept. It was made of acrylic, a new material adopted by the Stockmann-Orno factory in 1951. In keeping with the spirit of the 1950s, the lamp is of simplified form. Its cylindrical clear acrylic base is combined with a thin, translucent shade filtering light evenly. The lamp received its name from being obtained for the collections of New York’s Museum of Modern Art
