AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Handcrafted design lamp in a Scandinavian style, with a sculptural and organic form.
With a height of 35 cm and a width of 25 cm, the lamp has a subtle but unmistakable presence.

The design aligns with the Scandinavian design history of the 20th century, particularly the modernism of the 1940s–1960s, in which light was regarded as a carrier of atmosphere and natural materials were preferred over decoration. The flowing lines and the use of wood refer to the humanistic approach of designers like Alvar Aalto and his contemporaries, where functionality and emotion come together.

Each lamp is handcrafted, giving the object an artisanal character and setting it apart from mass-produced items. As a result, the lamp functions not only as a source of light but also as a small sculptural design piece within the interior.
