Right now, for the outstanding 20th-century Finnish lighting designer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/paavo-tynell\/furniture\/\">Paavo Tynell<\/a> (1890\u20131973), that object is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/lighting\/chandeliers-pendant-lights\/paavo-tynell-chandelier-snowflakes-early-model-9065\/id-f_20225712\/\">Snowflake chandelier<\/a>, a sculptural, kinetic showstopper created in the immediate postwar years. It works its magic by casting warm light through an intricately perforated brass bowl, illuminating delicate brass mesh &#8220;snowflakes&#8221; suspended on wires that seem to dance in space.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Helsinki company that Tynell cofounded in 1918, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/taito-oy\/furniture\/\">Taito Oy<\/a>, was known at the time for stylish but utilitarian fixtures, used in countless homes as well as high-profile locations like the United Nations secretary general\u2019s office, in New York, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/alvar-aalto\/\">Alvar Aalto<\/a>\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhewitt.org\/2021\/12\/10\/paimio-sanatorium-1929-33\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paimio Sanatorium<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/630420\/ad-classics-viipuri-library-alvar-aalto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Viipuri Library<\/a>, in Finland. But with the Snowflake, Tynell let his playful, creative side loose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Snowflake was launched, in the late 1940s, \u201cit was a little too design-forward for most,\u201d says Phillip Morici, owner and cofounder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/fleurdetroit\/\">Fleurdetroit<\/a>, a multidisciplinary design company, floral studio and retail shop in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, who is offering an early example on 1stDibs. Many of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/taito-oy\/furniture\/lighting\/chandeliers-pendant-lights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pendant lights<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/taito-oy\/furniture\/lighting\/sconces-wall-lights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sconces<\/a> in Taito Oy\u2019s catalogue, Morici explains, were \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/style\/machine-age\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Machine Age<\/a>, shiny and sleek, but the Snowflake line was whimsical, with fantastic shadow play.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Morici purchased the circa 1950 piece, a 31-inch-wide, 18-snowflake Model No. 9065, from the heirs of a physician-psychologist couple who bought it during that era. \u201cDetroit was a mecca for design in that period,\u201d he notes. It was the influential heyday of nearby <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/introspective-magazine\/cranbrook-academy-of-art-since-1932\/\">Cranbrook Academy<\/a>, where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/eero-saarinen\/\">Eero Saarinen<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/charles-and-ray-eames\/\">Charles and Ray Eames<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/harry-bertoia\/\">Harry Bertoia<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/florence-knoll\/\">Florence Knoll<\/a> and other luminaries of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/style\/mid-century-modern\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mid-century modernism<\/a> incubated many of their early designs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fixture had been hanging in the family\u2019s dining room, part of what Morici calls \u201can original time capsule, with early <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/knoll\/\">Knoll<\/a> pieces, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/style\/scandinavian-modern\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Scandinavian design<\/a>, flatware, dishes \u2014 everything untouched since the early \u201950s.\u201d The dealer went on to broker private sales of most of the house\u2019s contents. But the Snowflake he kept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can still happen, apparently, that an intact storehouse of pedigreed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/style\/modern\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">modernist design<\/a> goes unnoticed in the heartland. The couple\u2019s children just shrugged. \u201cThey said, \u2018Mom and Dad never redecorated,\u2019 \u201d Morici recalls. \u201cThey had no idea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"interstitial-banner interstitial-banner-collection interstitial-container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-background-image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/21020752_master-copy-1000x300.png\" class=\"attachment-interstitial size-interstitial\" alt=\"Paavo Tynell lighting\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container interstitial-text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"interstitial-link-around-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/paavo-tynell\/furniture\/lighting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tFind More Paavo Tynell Lighting on 1stDibs\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-subheading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"gold-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/paavo-tynell\/furniture\/lighting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>Shop All<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes a particular object becomes thought of as a designer&#8217;s ne plus ultra, or ultimate achievement \u2014 or at least, as the work most coveted by collectors at that moment.
