Maria Kipp Handwoven Lampshade with Ivory Plaid Bands over Natural Raffia, 1960s

$731List Price

About the Item

A rare and striking lampshade designed by German-born, California-based textile artist Maria Kipp, celebrated for her masterful use of handwoven fibers in postwar interiors. This piece exemplifies her signature blend of organic texture and modernist geometry, woven from natural raffia, flax, jute, and metallic threads. Kipp’s textiles were prominently featured in interiors by modernist icons including Paul László, Richard Neutra, and Rudolph Schindler, and her work was widely used in high-end commercial and residential projects throughout mid-century Southern California. *Note, this listing is for the shade only, no lamp is included. However we have many vintage table and floor lamps in stock, contact us if you are interested in pairing a lamp with this shade. This Maria Kipp lampshade showcases an elegant and balanced interplay of handwoven ivory plaid bands against a backdrop of rich natural raffia. The bold, grid-like patterning offers a graphic counterpoint to the organic texture of the materials, creating a sculptural presence even when unlit. This particular example has a slightly wider band spacing than typical Kipp designs, which gives it a more open and architectural rhythm, a striking fit for minimalist, California modern, or desert contemporary interiors. Highly collectible and increasingly scarce, Kipp’s lampshades offer a sculptural, light-filtering accent ideal for collectors, designers, and enthusiasts of mid-century and California modern design. The blend of earthy, natural materials and refined, architectural patterning gives these shades a timeless versatility, equally at home in desert modern, Scandinavian, Japandi, or wabi-sabi spaces. Whether used on a vintage lamp base or incorporated into a custom lighting installation, this shade brings warmth, history, and handcrafted beauty to any room. MEASUREMENTS: H 16.25" x W 18.5" x D 18.5" CONDITION: Very good vintage condition with minor age and wear, ready for immediate use.
