Brass Pendant Lamp by Paavo Tynell

Exceptionally rare pendant by the one and only Paavo Tynell. This particular light was a custom order for the University of Economics in Helsinki (now the Aalto University Executive Education), created in 1950. Good condition with wear consistent with age and use. Truly one of a kind, and the way the light filters through the perforated brass shade gives you a starry effect - it's simply fantastic! This pendant is also featured in the first English language book about the artist, "Chasing Light: Paavo Tynell."
