About the Item

Paavo Tynell for Taito, '9031' chandelier, brass, cane, fabric, Finland, 1950s A truly magnificent piece that scores highly on every design aspect: execution, use of materials, craftsmanship, and detail. Beautiful chandelier designed by Finnish master Paavo Tynell. This piece of lighting is very elegant and has lots of admirable detailing. The body of the lamp is made in brass, with a flower-like shape and brass detailing in the center where all rods connect. The graceful rods are connected to five shades that are executed in cane, and match wonderfully with the brass not only in color but also in opposite textures. The natural properties of the cane and the rich- and smoothness of the brass are a wonderful combination. Finnish designer Paavo Tynell (1890-1973) began his career as a blacksmith. After studying to become a master craftsman at the University of Art and Design in Helsinki, he founded his own manufacturing company named Taito Oy. During his career, he collaborated with fellow Finnish designers and architects such as Alvar Aalto. Their collaboration proved to be very fruitful and achieved Tynell’s reputation of “the man who illuminated Finland.” Tynell’s international design influence grew thanks to the Finland House located in New York and allowed him to see himself trusted with prestigious orders both for public buildings such as the UN but also for important private collections. Based on existing models, custom versions were ordered by the Finnish upper-class. Tynell's designs are characterized by organic forms and the use of perforated brass in combination with unusual materials for lighting such as straw and cane. Please note that this piece is in good, used condition. The shades have been replaced over time.
