Bukowskis presents Paavo Tynell at Design Sale Helsinki



Paavo Tynell (1890–1973) was the first Finnish designer to work solely with lighting. He trained as a sheet metal worker and operated as such until 1918, when he, together with a few others, founded Taito Oy. As a designer at Taito Oy and in his own projects, Tynell used his knowledge and skill in metalwork to use the material to manipulate the light.
