Impressive 2m high Paavo Tynell ceiling lamps, Taito 1940s.
About the Item
A pair of very impressive and distinct Paavo Tynell chandeliers commissioned and manufactured by Taito Oy for the exhibition hall on the 8th floor of the Arabia factory in Helsinki. We have been consigned to sell these lamps directly by the Arabia Art Department Society. These lamps share a history between two iconic companies (Taito Oy, and Arabia) that paved the way for the Finnish design industry and made it into what it is today.
Standing at almost 2 meters high, these lamps were specially designed for such a high ceiling space, and meant to be the center of attention. As always Tynell lamps were made to last and this exemplary pair has sustained great condition for the past 80 years. Displaying nothing but 3 beautifully patinated brass stems supporting a white glass shade, the elegance of the design comes from the minimalism it portrays.
We also have the 3rd lamp from the Arabia factory, which is still being repaired. It is available, if the buyer wants a third lamp as well. We can also consider selling these one item at a time, the price being 22000 euros a piece.
We recommend 1stdibs shipping on these items.
Note:-
Shipping and handling might take up to 1 month due to export permits on cultural items.

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.
