Modern Art Table Lamp Yki Nummi by Stockmann-Orno

About the Item

Almost immediately after Yki Nummi's introduction of the Modern Art lamp, it was chosen for the collection of the New York Museum of Modern Art. This appreciation by the museum immediately gave the lamp its name. The design of the lamp is classy and simple: a cylinder-shaped clear acrylic frame is combined with a transparent thin white shade.
