Paavo Tynell Copper Seashell Table Lamp Model 5321, Taito Oy 1940s

Already designed in 1938, this "seashell" lamp is considered one of the first modernist table lamps by Paavo Tynell. A lamp that broke the earlier borders of the Art Deco and Bauhaus school that were prevailing in his designs.

This lamp playfully combines and derives its design from nature to effortlessly bring the warmth of the summer and the beauty of the sea into any interior it commands.

This rare example is from the 1940s and is made out of copper, not the usual brass.
