Paavo Tynell Pendant in Opal Glass, Lamellar Aspen Wood and Brass, Idman, 1950s
-
Description
This rare pendant was designed by Paavo Tynell and produced by Idman in Finland. Model K3-43, it was introduced in the early 1950s and offered with a range of shade options, including fabric shades and the more rare lamellar wood shades.
The fixture features a white opal glass shade in a rounded bell shape, providing soft, pleasant, and diffused light. Resting on the glass is a light brown, coolie-shaped shade made from thin strips of lamellar wood. This shade reflects the refined craftsmanship of Idman's production, with delicate wooden slats intricately woven in a louvre-style construction. When lit, the shade creates a beautiful, atmospheric effect. A brass canopy and a decorative crown detail atop the glass shade complete the design.
The lamp is in good, original condition. The brass shows a natural patina consistent with age. The wooden shade is in very good condition, with two chips that are not visually distracting when the lamp is installed. The current drop-down cable is approximately 120 cm (47 inches) long, but it can be shortened or replaced to suit your desired hanging height. The lamp uses a standard E27 bulb.
