GUBI Tynell 5321 table lamp, brass – rattan

GUBI’s Tynell’s 5321 table lamp is also known as the Shell Lamp due to its brass shade resembling a seashell. Designer Paavo Tynell found his inspiration for the 5321 lamp from the nature and Romantic era, and the luminaire’s simplified appearance also echoes influences from mid-century modernism. Located right under the shell-shaped shade, the light bulb is reminiscent of a bright, glowing pearl. The organic appearance of the brass surfaces is complemented by a rattan-covered stem.

Originally released in 1941 by the Finnish Oy Taito Ab, the 5321 lamp is part of the Paavo Tynell collection that was launched in 2018 by the Danish design brand GUBI.
