This exceptional chandelier was designed by Paavo Tynell for Idman Oy and dates from the 1940s. It is a masterful example of Finnish mid-century lighting design, where elegance, craftsmanship, and a sense of playful refinement are seamlessly combined.
The chandelier is crafted in brass and features five gracefully curved arms extending from a sculptural central stem. The stem is decorated with delicate brass leaves, a recurring and highly recognizable motif in Tynell’s work, lending the piece a light, organic character. Each arm supports a soft milk glass shade, which gently diffuses the light and creates a warm, atmospheric glow. The contrast between the luminous milk glass and the warm brass enhances the refined and sculptural quality of the design.
Paavo Tynell is regarded as one of the most influential lighting designers of the 20th century and a key figure in Scandinavian modernism. His designs are celebrated for their organic forms, subtle detailing, and timeless appeal. This chandelier perfectly illustrates his ability to merge decorative expression with modernist restraint, resulting in a piece that is both functional and highly elegant.
This fine chandelier will complement many interior styles. A Modern, Scandinavian, Classic, or an Art Deco home decor.
