Paavo Tynell founded his own lighting company Taito Oy in 1918. Tynell was an industrial designer, often referred to as ‘the man who illuminated Finland’ through his world-renowned and extremely sought-after work, formed mostly from perforated and polished brass.
This particular pair of lamps consists of slatted wood shades - a design style that came about in the early 1940’s as a consequence of the rationing of brass in Finland.
