Lisa Pape Lamp  

It's not much, but...
From _1000 Lights_:
"Having previously designed furniture for Stockmann in Helsinki, Lisa Johansson-Pape began designing lighting for the department store's sister company, Stockmann-Orno, around 1947. Her earliest designs were notable for their graceful yet simple forms and often featured pierced metal elements that allowed the light to shine through. Her later designs, such as her sandblasted and etched glass lights from 1954 [like the one pictured in this thread's first post], were even more sculptural and were produced for Stockmann-Orno by the famous Finnish glassworks, Iittala. In the late 1950s Johansson-Pape also designed several lights made of acrylic, which won a number of Milan Triennale medals."

Thank you FF. I now remember reading that bit a while back. I'm left wondering if the variations in producers reflects Orno contracting out for whatever reason or simply "copies" by other producers.

Hi Woofwoof,
I did some research of this lamp earlier this year and actually emailed Charlotte Fiell (the co-auther of 1000 Lights) about the Pukesberg production of this lamp (comes in 2 sizes and can be dated back as early as the 60s).
This is what Charlotte wrote as a response,
"Many thanks for your question....I didn?t know of the Pukeberg lamp before you brought it to my attention, certainly its form is very reminiscent of the Fungo lamp designed by Massimo Vignelli in the 1960s. The image of the Johansson-Pape lamp that is in 1000 Lights came from the Museum of Decorative Arts in Helsinki and you might find that the curator there can help you with your question."
I have yet to write an email to Helsinki to see what they have to say about this, it certainly is very interesting.

LightFolio, that was smart...
LightFolio, that was smart of you, and kind of Charlotte to give some helpful advice. Nice to know I'm not the only one wondering about this. For clarity, the Pukesburg produced lamps are the only ones with two sizes? I was under the impression Lisa had two sizes, as well as Murano.
That makes 5 now.
iitala
Murano
Bohmarks Sweden
new "copy", which is like Vignelli's lamp as it partially illuminates
Pukesburg I don't think I've seen this one before...could be wrong.

Dear WoofWoof:
Was also searching a bit about it.
,,ILUM,, one of the most prestigious lamps producers from 50-80 in Argentina, also produced them in two sizes(*). I have one of the smaller to take a pic. Carlos, a Design-friend Addict, is sure they produce them in two sizes, but I could ask him again.
(*) The glass was made in Querandi factory, also one of the most prestigious glass factories. Both Querandi and Ilum are not working now 🙁

Gustavo, thank you. I...
Gustavo, thank you. I didn't expect that and very interesting. It would make sense to outsource heavy/fragile items like this to distant places. The plot thickens!

Woofwoof,What interest...
Woofwoof,
What interest me the most is that the Pukeberg Sweden production (still in production and is distributed by Zero) mentions nothing of Lisa Pepe, not that I can find anyway. As if Lisa Pape intended the lamp to be in 2 sizes, I have no idea.
I guess it will take an email or two to Helsinki to figure out.
I am including a link from the Glass message board of someone who was trying to get this lamp IDed.

I just did a search for the Pukeberg lamp. Turns out that's the newer production I couldn't recall, seemingly only 1/2 of the lamp illuminates. Agree It is odd that Zero describes it as a 1960's design but nothing about LJP.
Yeah, inquire with Helsinki. Certainly hope they can be of assistance.
I did some searching on Stockmann-Orno. Turns out they sold Orno in the 80's. So far, unsure if Orno still exist today. Otherwise, would make another good contact for us.

Does the Stockmann-Orno...
Does the Stockmann-Orno version illuminate as a whole? I always thought only half would light up. I will write a quick email to the museum to see what they say. stay tuned.

I don't know if the...
I don't know if the Stockmann-Orno/iitala line does, but I would imagine it would. Remember, we're still trying to ascertain productions etc. The few lamps I've seen in person do illuminate entirely. The photos of various lamps I've viewed don't illustrate a full illumination. Wright20th sold one that was advertised as full illumination.
So, might be safe to assume that the type of illumination is indicator of production?

I guess it could be! if...
I guess it could be! if that's the case then it probably comes down to how the eletrical is fitted.
I have the large version at home that only glows on the top half. I wasn't really able to confirm if it is the Pape lamp since it has no labels or markings. However, I did find a very yellowed price tag with faded kr (danish kroner?)in the lamp. I will try to take some detailed photos of my lamp tonight.

This appears to be an image of the lamp fully illuminated. Sort of looks like there is a second bulb in the base?

Bonvita Lamp
This is the 1957 print ad for the "Bonvita Lamp" from Sweden.

I recently got a Lisa...
I recently got a Lisa Johansson Pape style lamp. It has the same oval "Hand Blown Glass - Made in Italy" sticker that the shades for Laurel Lamps have (as in this image), which might indicate they were made by the same Italian manufacturer. Is my Pape lamp typical of those versions that are described as "Murano"?
---actually, I have seen this same oval sticker on a number of Pape style lamps pictured on the web. I have also seen the same oval sticker on a variety of other lamp styles, and all of those were sold by Laurel Lamp. I am now wondering if there is a chance that the oval sticker is a Laurel Lamp Co. sticker, and that Laurel Lamp might have imported Pape style lamps into the U.S. at some point?
