Aris Oy ceiling lamp

Information

The Polaris ceiling lamp, produced by Aris Oy in Finland during the 1960s, is a distinctive example of Scandinavian mid-century modern lighting design. The fixture combines black lacquered metal with brass to create a geometric and sculptural form. It consists of four spherical brass shades, each housed within a curved black metal frame, all connected to a central vertical rod. The lamp measures 43 cm in diameter and 93 cm in height, giving it a balanced yet dynamic presence.

The design arranges the brass domes asymmetrically, adding visual interest and a sense of movement. Each shade features perforated details at the top, allowing small points of light to escape and adding subtle decorative illumination while directing the main light downward. The interiors of the shades are painted white to maximize light reflection, ensuring an even and efficient distribution of light throughout the space.

Aris Oy, known for its modernist and industrial-inspired lighting designs, produced this model as part of the mid-century Scandinavian functionalist tradition. The materials show a natural patina on the brass surfaces, indicative of age, while the black lacquered metal frame remains well preserved. This lamp exemplifies the fusion of practical lighting solutions with sculptural and architectural design typical of the period.
