Brass with perforated dome shade and rattan wrapped stem.
The lamp’s stem, wrapped in leather, introduces a tactile element that contrasts beautifully with the metallic surface of the shade and base. The combination of brass and leather reflects Tynell’s ability to blend organic and industrial materials. The carefully perforated detailing on the brass dome not only adds a decorative touch but also enhances the quality of light, casting subtle patterns in the surrounding space. Paired with a round brass base, the design is both functional and sculptural, perfectly balancing practicality with elegance.

Tynell played a pivotal role in shaping modern Scandinavian lighting design, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics and natural inspiration.
