Designed in 1938 by Paavo Tynell, the 5321 table lamp elegantly illustrates the designer's vision of whimsical nature. The bulb appears subtly under the lampshade that is inspired by a shell. This detail, reminiscent of the coveted shell pearl, makes this lamp a perfect example of how Tynell succeeded in bringing nature and romance to the uncluttered style of mid-century modernism. Combining timeless aesthetics and a unique sense of form, the 5321 lamp brings character to any space. Re-issued by Gubi, it is both decorative and functional, finding a balance between elegance and curiosity, for a design that is both subtle and surprising.
