Kai Ruokonen Table Lamp, Green - 1970s

This table lamp by Kai Ruokonen and it's a striking example of Finnish lighting design from the 1970s. With its layered painted aluminium shade and slender brass stem, the lamp has a sculptural presence that feels both playful and architectural. The form is distinctly period in the best way, while still sitting naturally in a contemporary interior.

The wide three-tier shade gives the lamp a strong visual identity and helps create a soft, atmospheric light. The combination of the green painted aluminium and brass base gives it warmth and contrast, making it work well on a sideboard, desk, bedside table, or shelf. It is a decorative piece on its own, but also highly functional in everyday use.
