A1967 Pendant, brass/canvas

Known to many as ‘the man who illuminated Finland’, the legendary designer and metalsmith Paavo Tynell is one of the leading lights of 20th-century industrial design . A classic 1950s Tynell design, the 1967 pendant expands on the design language developed in 1948 for the 1965 pendant. The 1967 is characterized by a conical canvas shade which exudes warm ambient light, with Tynell's signature brass hardware adding a subtle, premium expression. Below the bulb, a fabric diffuser modulates the light and, beneath this, a decorative brass detail gives each lamp a flourish of character, and subtly influences the play of light it generates. The A1967 variant employs Tynell's ingenious counterweight system to allow the lamp to be adjusted upwards and downwards, adding flexibility to the spaces it occupies and visual interest to the piece.
