About the designer:
A dominant figure in 20th-century Finnish lighting design, Paavo Tynell (1890–1973) started his career as a metalsmith beginner while he studied at the Central School of Arts and Crafts in Helsinki, where he graduated in 1913, receiving a firm education in the field of metal art.
Five years later, in 1918, Tynell co-founded the promising Finnish manufacturing company Oy Taito Ab, which ultimately became the Finnish lighting industry innovator of that time. Tynell worked at the company as the managing director until his retirement in 1953, when the company was acquired by Idman Oy for which Tynell continued to design until the mid-1960s while also working as an independent designer for various other international companies.
Considering 20th-century Finnish lighting design would be hard without mentioning a name like Paavo Tynell who is broadly referred to as “The Man Who Illuminated Finland”. By applying his knowledge and skill in metalwork, Tynell established a distinctive style that can be promptly recognized in his work and was able to create splendid designs, all of which employ important materials and beautifully illustrate nature through various fine decorative elements. Paavo Tynell was a lighting pioneer, a dominant figure in 20th-century Finnish lighting design, and his works today are considered the pinnacle of important 20th-century European lighting.

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. In 1918, Tynell co-founded the metalwork and lighting company Oy Taito Ab. At first, the company focused mostly on interior and exterior metalwork, such as statues and railings. Later, during the 1930s, Taito also began producing lamps for the lighting sector. Both Alvar Aalto and Kaj Franck would design works for the company.

- Paavo Tynell "Horseshoe" Table Lamp Model 9224, IdmanBy Idman, Paavo TynellLocated in Helsinki, FIThe rare perforated version and one of the nicest examples of the 9224 table lamps that we ever came across. This model is also known as the "horse shoe" due to the horseshoe resembling foot and other features making it resemble Thoroughbreds (see archive pictures) In a 1950s edition of the Finland House Lighting catalouge this lamp was nicknamed Thoroughbred. Now if you think that was because of the horseshoe-foot, think again. The Thoroughbred is a hot-blooded racing horse breed known for its agility and their physical features include a well-chiseled head, a long slim neck and a lean body. Somehow, that sounds like an exact description of the 9224 lamp. Add to that the leather harness and it's spot on. This version has perforated funnel shape brass lamp shade...Category
