Description

GUBI’s Tynell 9205 table lamp beautifully reflects the style of lighting designer Paavo Tynell, showcasing his love for natural materials and impeccable craftsmanship, all while maintaining an understated charm. The 9205 table lamp harmoniously combines a natural white canvas shade with a slender brass stem adorned with a hand-lathed pattern reminiscent of a rattan weave. The lamp’s gently diffused, warm light and timeless proportions exude a captivating presence, making it a perfect addition to various spaces, such as the living room side table, window sill or bedside.

Originally designed in the early 1950s and produced by the Finnish company Oy Taito Ab, the 9205 luminaire is now part of the Paavo Tynell collection under the Danish design brand GUBI.

Paavo Tynell

Paavo Tynell (1890-1973) is one of the best-known Finnish lighting designers, and his work has had a great influence on modern lighting design also internationally. Tynell started his career as a blacksmith and studied at the Helsinki University of Industrial Arts, where he continued as a teacher. In 1918, Tynell co-founded the metalwork and lighting company Oy Taito Ab, and worked as the company’s CEO and chief designer until 1953. In the 1930s and 1940s he designed lighting for various public spaces, such as Helsinki’s Parliament House and the office of the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

Tynell’s designs merge together simple and decorative shapes as well as sculptural and natural elements. The lamps are often made of brass and decorated with perforated patterns. Tynell collaborated with notable Finnish architects including Alvar Aalto, and participated in the lighting design of Aalto’s buildings such as the Paimio Sanatorium, Helsinki’s Savoy Restaurant and Viipuri Library. He also gained success in America, where his customers included private homes, lighting manufacturers and New York’s Finland House. During his career Tynell was awarded at the 1929 Barcelona World Fair and 1933 Milan Triennale, and in 1951 he received the first prize at the Good Design Awards.

Today, Tynell’s original designs are collector’s items that reach high prices in auctions. In 2018, the Danish design brand Gubi relaunched a long-awaited collection of Tynell’s designs.

    Klassinen, sirolinjainen valaisin. Sopii hyvin samaan tilaan Gubi-lattiavalaisimen kanssa. Laadukas.
