Taidetakomo Hakkarainen

Taidetakomo Hakkarainen was a Finnish metalwork and lighting workshop founded and directed by Antti Hakkarainen in Helsinki. Active from the 1930s through the post-war period, the workshop became known for its hand-forged iron and brass furniture, lighting, and decorative objects, often bridging Art Deco, Nordic Classicism, and early Modernist aesthetics.

The company’s production ranged from wrought-iron floor and table lamps to chandeliers, candelabra, wall sconces, and occasional furniture. Characteristic details include finely worked organic motifs, leaf and floral ornaments, scrollwork, and elegant geometric structures, demonstrating the workshop’s dual commitment to craftsmanship and modern design sensibility.
