Paavo Tynell Starry Sky Ceiling Lamp 9068 in Black & Brass, Idman 1950s
Located in Helsinki, FI
The Starry Sky is one of the most iconic designs of Paavo Tynell`s lamps. It was made by both Taito and Idman in a few different sizes. The way the light filters through the grill and the holes on the sides makes the ceiling look like a starry sky. Because of it's small size and sophisticated look this lamp is suitable for any interior. This model can be easily used in bedrooms, hallways, kitchens, corridors, or even living rooms. The colour can be easily changed, as repainting these simple lamps is quite easy. It can be disassembled into pieces which makes the task super simple. This lamp is in completely original condition. It has beautiful vintage patina that only comes from wear and use and the passage of time. A collector´s item even for Tynell lovers. We have many other Starry Skies lamps...
