1950s Mauri Almari cascading chandelier for Idman Oy Finland. A rare example executed in black painted and perforated metal with the original brass canopy that has been modified for mounting over a standard American juncture box. Highly reminiscent of Paavo Tynell's iconic designs for Taito Oy. An incredibly refined design that is quintessentially Finnish.
 
A contemporary of Paavo Tynell, the inspired work of Mauri Almari has made him an increasingly valued midcentury Finnish designer by collectors in the know.
