About the designer.

Paavo Tynell was a Finnish-born industrial designer who specialized in lighting design. He started his career as a tinsmith in Helsinki and quickly developed into a talented blacksmith. Together with fellow designers, Tynell founded Taito AB in 1918, a metalworking company that produced industrial lighting and other metal objects for various industries.

By 1930 the company decided to concentrate exclusively on industrial lighting, such was their expertise and reputation in this field. This led Tynell to a lifelong career in lighting design, eventually producing many iconic designs that last to this day, such as the 1965 pendant lamp, now produced by Danish interior design experts Gubi.
