An acrylic pendant Triënnaali Kuplat designed by Yki Nummi in 1959 and executed by Finnish lighting factory Orno Stockmann.

The name Kuplat means bubbles in Finnish. The lamp consists of two acrylic shades, one nesting inside the other. The white acrylic inner shade functions as a reflecting surface for the light and brightens the light passing through. The outer transparent acrylic shade is sand coloured.

This specific lamp is an early piece from the 1960s; it is rather hard to find in this good condition. The brass part is covered with a wonderful patina. The electrical wire is original, but potentially a bit short.

The spherical Kuplat is presented in ‘1000 Lights’ by Charlotte & Peter Fiell on Page 304.
