Known as the “Chinese Hat,” it features a brass base and stem with a conical wicker shade that casts a warm, atmospheric light. Tynell, often called “the man who illuminated Finland,” designed fixtures for the Finnish Parliament House and the United Nations, and his work is still regarded as some of the finest mid-century Scandinavian lighting.
