With an elegant, slender form, the GUBI 9205 Table Lamp’s minimalist aesthetic hides extraordinary craftsmanship and engineering. Originally conceived by Finnish-born master metalsmith and industrial designer Paavo Tynell, the 9205 features a lathe-milled metal stem that requires exceptional attention to detail from the metalsmith. The shade features hand-sewn elements, with a canvas fabric or pleated bamboo matt affixed to a metal frame.
The resulting lamp is a classic piece that exemplifies the genius of Paavo Tynell. Gently casting an atmospheric glow across your interiors, it is ideally suited for placing on a living room side table or bedside cabinet.
Paavo Tynell was a Finnish born industrial designer who specialised in lighting design. He started his career as a Tinsmith in Helsinki, developing quickly into a talented Blacksmith. Along with fellow designers, Tynell set up Taito AB in 1918, a metal working company producing industrial lighting and other metal objects for various industries. By 1930 the company decided to focus their efforts solely on industrial lighting, such was their expertise and reputation within this field. This led Tynell on a lifetime career of lighting design, eventually producing many iconic designs that last to this day, such as the 1965 Pendant Light, now produced by Danish interiors experts, Gubi.
