Tapiovaara said that “it is impossible to create a
new object without a point of reference, and nature
is the best and closest manual for the industrial
designer. Whether in terms of the object’s purpose,
that is, its functional requirements; or in terms of
shape, colour, material and adequate proportion”. In
1955, when Alvar Aalto was the dominant figure of
Helsinki’s cultural life, Ilmari Tapiovaara presented
himself as the first Finnish non-architect designer.
An expert in chairs and furniture, he created his
sole and unique household lamp: Maija.
A striking luminous object, table, floor or pendants
lamps. The pendant version has been reedited in
two sizes, with 15 cm or 30 cm diameter discs. Both
models feature an interior white glass diffuser that
filters the light; they can be used as single units
or in a sequence. The Maija family is part of our
Design Classics collection, a series of objects cre-
ated at different times during the Modernist era.
Decía Tapiovaara que “no es posible crear un objeto
nuevo a partir de ninguna referencia. Y la naturaleza
es el mejor y más cercano manual para el diseñador
industrial, ya sea en cuanto a la función misma que
deba cumplir, esto es, a sus requisitos funcionales,
como en lo relativo a forma, color, material y adecua-
da proporción”. Cuando la impresionante figura de
Alvar Aalto dominaba la vida cultural de Helsinki, en
1955, Ilmari Tapiovaara se presentó como el primer
finlandés diseñador-no-arquitecto. Especialista en
sillas y mobiliario, acometió el proyecto de su única
lámpara doméstica: Maija.
Un sorprendente objeto luminoso, unas lámparas de
sobremesa, de pie o de suspensión. La versión de
suspensión se reedita en dos medidas, con platillos
de quince o de treinta centímetros de diámetro. Un
difusor interior de vidrio blanco ayuda en ambos
casos a matizar la luz y se asientan igual de bien
tanto solas como utilizadas de forma repetida en
el mismo espacio. La familia Maija forma parte de
nuestra colección de Clásicos del Diseño, un con-
junto de objetos creados durante distintas épocas
de la modernidad.
