Paavo Tynell Brass 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.
