Large Paavo Tynell Sea Shell Ceiling Pendant in Copper
About the Item
This model lamp we have seen once before in brass, but never in copper. Considering it`s age this lamp is in very good condition.
The shell like surface has also been used in a Paavo Tynell table lamp, and also in both copper and brass. As other Finnish designer`s Tynell borrowed a number of his design schemes from nature. The strikingly simple design idea is what makes this a masterpiece of design.
This lamp is not stamped, but we are almost sure it is from the 1950s and Idman, not Taito as the manufacturer. Although the shell table lamp we have had with Taito stamps, the inside structure of this lamp suggests Idman and not Taito.

Paavo Tynell
Paavo Tynell, who was born in Helsinki, Finland in 1890, started his career as a tin- and blacksmith at the company Kory Oy. Simultaneously, he studied at the Helsinki University of Industrial Arts, from which he graduated as a master craftsman in 1913. In 1918, Tynell co-founded the metalwork and lighting company Oy Taito Ab. At first, the company focused mostly on interior and exterior metalwork, such as statues and railings. Later, during the 1930s, Taito also began producing lamps for the lighting sector. Both Alvar Aalto and Kaj Franck would design works for the company.
