Paavo Tynell Pendant with Hand-Painted Glass by Kyllikki Salmenhaara
A rare and elegant Finnish ceiling pendant designed by Paavo Tynell and featuring a beautifully hand-painted glass diffuser by renowned ceramic artist Kyllikki Salmenhaara. Manufactured in Finland during the 1940s, this exceptional light exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and organic elegance for which Finnish lighting design is celebrated. The fixture combines a sculptural fluted wooden stem with finely detailed brass accents and a distinctive undulating woven shade surrounding a frosted hand-painted glass diffuser. Delicate floral motifs and butterflies decorate the glass, creating a soft decorative effect both when illuminated and unlit. The warm combination of natural materials, painted glass, and elegant proportions makes this pendant a striking example of early Scandinavian Modern lighting. The fixture accommodates two E27 light bulbs and provides a warm, diffused illumination ideal for dining rooms, living spaces, or entry halls. A highly collectible example of Finnish lighting design by one of the country’s most celebrated designers.
