An exceptionally rare custom-made Paavo Tynell ceiling lamp with exclusive provenance. This lamp is one of only two of this most likely unique model, commissioned and designed for the Akaa Parish in the Toijala region of Middle Finland. The lamps have been in the Parish since their installation in the early 1950s, with one placed in the Pastor’s office and the other in the entrance hall.
This piece exemplifies mid-century lighting design at its best, crafted by one of the world’s leading lighting designers. The lamp is quite sizable with a diameter of 55cm and a height of just over 20cm. The round brass shade features a rare star perforation, adding an extra layer of specialness. The star reflections cast onto the ceiling provide additional depth to an already beautiful and sophisticated design. The base of the lamp consists of concentric brass-rings design that holds a glass diffuser, covering three light bulbs inside. The lamp remains in beautiful original condition, with only the electric wiring having been renewed.
The lamp is stamped Taito. Please note that, unless sold already, we have the other similar lamp in a separate listing.
