GUBI’s Tynell 9205 table lamp beautifully reflects the style of lighting designer Paavo Tynell, showcasing his love for natural materials and impeccable craftsmanship, all while maintaining an understated charm. The 9205 table lamp harmoniously combines a hand-pleated bamboo slat shade with a slender brass stem adorned with a hand-lathed pattern reminiscent of a rattan weave. The lamp’s gently diffused, warm light and timeless proportions exude a captivating presence, making it a perfect addition to various spaces, such as the living room side table, window sill or bedside.

The bamboo is made from a series of slats first sewn together by hand to form a pleated mat before being connected to the liner and frame – a contemporary update to the ryegrass cane used in Taito’s original model. Activated by a switch on top of the stem, the light in both versions presents a downward light and a warm, 360º glow.

Originally designed in the early 1950s and produced by the Finnish company Oy Taito Ab, the 9205 luminaire is now part of the Paavo Tynell collection under the Danish design brand GUBI.
