Paavo Tynell White Perfortated Adjustable Ceiling Lamp Model 1965, Taito 1950s

Paavo Tynell created the counter weight lamp design in response to American lamp specifications, that did not allow lamps to hang by electricity cords on their own. The result was a whole series of counter weight lamp designs of which this model, the 1965 was the most recognizable and an all time favorite and classic.

This example was manufactured by Taito Oy, which was the first company that Paavo Tynell established already in the 1920s and was known for the highest standards in metal craftsmanship. The three dot perforated brass shade adds a magical touch that is synonymous with the Tynell designs. It also counter balances the rigidity of the solid brass weight. Finally, the silk shade diffuser softens the direct down light coming from the lamp.The lamp’s height is adjustable and can be extended as much as needed by changing the length of the wiring.

This beautiful example is in original condition and retains all original parts except for the wiring and is stamped by Taito.
