Paavo Tynell Counterweight Ceiling Lamp
Model A1965 Counterweight Ceiling Lamp, designed by Paavo Tynell for his company Taito Oy. These hanging pendants were originally created for New York’s Finland House in 1948. This refined design features a polished brass shade with Tynell’s signature perforated detailing, creating a delicate play of light and shadow. The etched glass diffuser softens the illumination, casting a warm, ambient glow. A sculptural, solid brass counterweight allows the height to be easily adjusted. This clever mechanism enhances the lamp’s functionality, allowing it to transition from task to ambient lighting. This example has been professionally polished with great care. It remains in beautiful condition, with all elements fully operational.
