Gubi Tynell Collection, 9602 Floor Lamp Wicker Willow

Tynell 9602 Floor Lamp.

Finnish lighting designer Paavo Tynell designed the 9602 floor lamp for Hotel Aulanko in Hämeenlinna, Finland in 1935. The lamp is characterized by a wide shade resembling a traditional Chinese hat, and a sleek, rattan-covered stem, contrasted with shiny brass in the base and on top of the lampshade. The 9602 lamp is a fine example of Tynell's ability to turn lighting into art and seamlessly combine different materials. This floor lamp is part of the Paavo Tynell collection that was re-released in 2018 by the Danish design brand Gubi.
