Gubi 1965 Pendant pendant lamp

1965 Pendant Pendant Light by Gubi

Originally designed for the Finnish House in New York in 1948, Finnish industrial designer Paavo Tynell presented the pendant light in 1965. This lamp was part of his extensive portfolio focused on lamp design. Tynell often used perforated brass as a material to create interesting light objects inspired by organic forms. The 1965 Pendant Pendant Light features a beautifully shaped metal shade that emits a warm glow. A milk glass diffuser softens the light, while a triangular hole pattern gives the exterior of the lamp a vibrant illumination.
