GUBI Tynell 1965 pendant, green

GUBI’s 1965 pendant light was designed by Paavo Tynell in 1948 for New York’s Finland House, an ambitious project showcasing Finnish design in America. Typical of Tynell, the softly curved metal shade of the pendant is decorated with a triangular perforation pattern, giving the surface a vivid sparkle. Due to the frosted glass diffuser, Tynell 1965 emits a soft, glare-free light.

Originally manufactured by the Finnish company Oy Taito Ab, the luminaire is part of the Paavo Tynell collection released in 2018 by the Danish design brand GUBI.
