Tynell 9464 Wall Sconce

Known as "the man who illuminated Finland," Paavo Tynell's pieces moved to the realm of iconic through their nature-inspired charm and craftsmanship touch, and this 1947 designed luminaire is no different. The Tynell 9464 Wall Sconce from GUBI is a piece that says timeless, providing a pleasant glow and sculpturally crafted form that invites closer inspection. Tynell's background as a metalsmith and jewelry designer comes through off the bat in this sconce. Tynell's deep understanding of metal helped give the material exquisite shapes and ornamentation in ways that had never been seen at the time. This sculptural piece jets from the wall in a sleek brass shade highlighted by its angle cuts. A closer look on its reflective surface reveals a charming, stylish pattern of twin dot perforations. These details pop as a warm, ambient glow filters softly through a glass diffuser plate, glazing the structure and the wall behind.
