Table Lamp 9205 Bamboo Gubi

Lamp 9205 is a classic, almost archetypal table lamp with a unique aesthetics. The elegant and slender, seemingly simple form of the lamp hides the extraordinary craftsmanship of manual performance. The bamboo lampshade is made of a number of slats sewn by hand to create a pleated mat before connecting to the lining and frame.

Paavo Tynell

Paavo Tynell was a Finnish designer known as "a man who brought light to Finland." He graduated from the Art Craft School in Helsinki and co -founded Taito Oy, where he designed elegant brass and glass lamps. A characteristic feature of his work were perforations, lightness and subtle decorations. He collaborated with architects, including Alvar Aalto, creating lighting for public and private interiors. His best -known projects are models 9602, 9205 and 9209, today produced by Gubi. Tynella's design combined functionality with a poetic form, and its lamps are still considered to be the symbols of Scandinavian modernism and are valued by collectors around the world.
