About the Item

Copper and brass. Measures: L: 227 cm/ 7' 5 3/4" W: 21 cm/ 8 1/4" Provenance: The member's club at the Myllykoski paper mill, Finland. Paavo Tynell's office was responsible for the refurbishing of the member's club in the 1950s. One of the best loved and most acclaimed Finnish designers – Paavo Tynell was born in Helsinki, Finland, in 1890. He was an industrial designer, often referred to as ‘the man who illuminated Finland’ through his world-renowned and extremely sought-after work, formed mostly from perforated and polished brass. He was a true pioneer of Nordic lighting design, with his early work proving to be of a functionalist nature during the first stages of his awe-inspiring career. His works today are some of the most coveted collectors items in Nordic lighting design.
