Created by Paavo Tynell in 1947, "the man who illuminated Finland," the Tynell 9464 Wall Sconce from Gubi is a sculptural piece with great attention to detail, reflecting Tynell's background as a metalsmith and jewelry designer. Tynell's work took great inspiration from the forms and textures seen in nature. Ornamentation is an element used to bring a sense of life in his pieces while paying homage to traditional motifs. The surface of the sconce underlines this use of ornamentation, as twin dot perforations wrap around in a pattern and notched notes shape the base of the structure. The tapered brass structure lets one appreciate the quality of the metal with a sweeping curve. Its light shines out the top and funnels through a glass diffuser for a mellow ambient glow.
