Paavo Tynell (1890-1973) was a Finnish lighting designer and architect known for his significant contributions to the field of modern lighting design. He played a pivotal role in shaping the aesthetics and functionality of lighting fixtures during the mid-20th century. Tynell's work is celebrated for its elegant, timeless designs and innovative use of materials and technology. Tynell was born in Helsinki, Finland, in 1890. He began his career as a tinsmith and metalworker. His training in metalwork provided him with a strong foundation for his future work in lighting design.
Paavo Tynell collaborated with renowned Finnish architect Alvar Aalto on various projects, including the design of custom lighting fixtures for Aalto's architectural projects. These collaborations helped both Tynell and Aalto gain international recognition. These sconces were created in collaboration with Olaf Küttner for the Hotel Juhana Herttua in 1955.

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.
