Paavo Tynell Brass & Perforated Red Metal Ceiling Lamp Model K2-58, Idman 1950s

Creator: Paavo Tynell
Offered by: Haddadin Design

Description
A lively Paavo Tynell pendant lamp crafted in brass and painted red metal, distinguished by the designer's iconic perforations. This model features a distinct fishtail and diamond perforation, nicknamed for its resemblance to a fish's tail and diamonds. Repainted in a vibrant red, the finish contrasts beautifully with the bright, polished brass.

The lamp is relatively compact, allowing for easy integration into various interiors. Its hanging height can be effortlessly customized by simply adjusting the length of the electric cord.

Renowned as the man who illuminated Finland, Paavo Tynell began his career as a sheet metal apprentice before co-founding Taito Oy in 1918. While his postwar designs were initially met with some skepticism at home, they found overwhelming success in the United States. Today, his most sought-after pieces command extraordinary prices at auction, a fitting tribute to a designer whose work graces institutions like the Finnish Parliament House.

This lamp represents Tynell's innovative response to international design trends and his unwavering commitment to functional beauty—a legacy that continues to shine brightly.
