The lamp is in good vintage condition with all its original parts.

Paavo Tynell (1890–1973) was a pioneering Finnish designer often referred to as “the man who illuminated Finland.” He began his career as a metalworker and later co-founded Taito Oy in 1918, the company that became synonymous with Finnish lighting design. Tynell’s work ranged from early functionalist designs to the poetic, nature-inspired creations of the post-war years. His lamps were featured in major projects such as the Finnish Parliament House and Alvar Aalto’s Paimio Sanatorium, and later gained international acclaim through Finland House in New York. Today, his lighting pieces are considered icons of Scandinavian modernism and are among the most sought-after works of 20th-century design.
