A lamp that knows how to be functional and intimate, we are re-editing this Finnish classic from 1955, bringing back two versions that add LED technology to the light housed inside . In the language of Finnish functionalism, the Maija series conveyed the feeling of Baltic light from the inside outwards, with a graceful, durable structure reminiscent of the childish honeycomb of naughty honey bee Maya, the heroine of stories and cartoons that originally inspired its name. Maija was a very popular lamp from the start. It was the only one made by this first major Finnish industrial non-architect designer after Alvar Aalto, and who is now recognised as a maestro of generations. An opaque body with a brass structure fragmented into superimposed plates, filters and directs its happy inner light. The whole series of the famous Finnish classic comprises floor, table top and hanging versions. Show more
