The 9209 table lamp was designed in 1940 by Paavo Tynell, one of the greatest industrial designers and metal craftsmen of the 20th century. A great pioneer of modern lighting, Paavo Tynell (1890-1973) is fondly known as "the man who lit up Finland". His lamps are highly sought after by collectors around the world, and prices for his original pieces have recently soared at auction. The 9209 lamp stands out for its superb mix of natural, sophisticated materials, as well as its delicately perforated lampshade. Its round, spun brass lampshade has earned it the nickname Kypärä, “helmet” in Finnish. The lampshade is decorated with hand-punched triangular patterns – Tynell's decorative signature - which require the greatest precision. As well as downlighting, the 9209 lamp also passes pinpoints of light through holes in its shade, creating a soft, textured glow and star-like shine. The base is hand-bound with rattan, creating a visual, textural contrast with the shiny brass, while allowing a good grip to move the lamp easily. The warm, natural appearance of rattan blends superbly with the sophistication of golden brass. Behind the lampshade is an elegant brass push switch with a deliciously retro style. The 9209 table lamp illustrates Paavo Tynell's boundless imagination and unmatched ability to create timeless designs.
