Tynell 5061 table lamp, brass - glass

Designed by Paavo Tynell, the 5061 table lamp emits warm, vivid light around it. The lamp is defined by its beautifully slender shade with brass and glass, that is positioned on a sturdy stand. The table lamp is perfect for creating a lovely atmosphere in any room. Originally produced by the Finnish Oy Taito Ab, the 5061 table lamp is a fine example of Tynell’s ability to turn illumination into art and combine different materials seamlessly.

Paavo Tynell

Oy Taito Ab was a Finnish applied arts company that played a significant role in the development of domestic lighting and metal design in the early 20th century. Founded in Helsinki in 1918, the company operated actively until 1953, when it was merged with the lighting manufacturer Idman.

Taito Oy’s founding team included several key figures from Finland’s art and cultural scene, such as Paavo Tynell, Eric O. W. Ehrström, Frans Nykänen, Emil Wikström, and Gösta Serlachius.

Paavo Tynell served as both the chief designer and managing director throughout the company’s existence. Under his leadership, Taito’s metal art workshop produced lighting fixtures and interior elements that combined technical craftsmanship, refined design, and timeless aesthetics.

The legacy of Taito Oy lives on today – especially through Tynell’s lighting designs, which are internationally recognised as design classics. The company represented the finest Finnish craftsmanship of its time and served as an important bridge between traditional artisanry and industrial design.
