Gubi 1967 & 1972

The Gubi 1967 & 1972 collection revisits and refines two classic pendant designs by Paavo Tynell, a seminal figure in 20th-century Finnish lighting. Rooted in his celebrated 1948 1965 pendant, this family of luminaires reflects Tynell’s mastery of material, detail, and light. Each design is imbued with the character and subtle intricacy for which Tynell was known, bringing warmth and architectural clarity to contemporary interiors through his use of conical forms, premium materials, and understated ornamentation.

The 1967 Pendant features a clean canvas shade paired with polished brass detailing, ideal for those seeking a neutral, textural centrepiece that complements both modern and traditional interiors. The 1972 Pendant, by contrast, brings a more tactile and organic dimension with hand-sewn bamboo slats that filter light through their natural grain, creating a soft, upward glow and an atmospheric downward beam. A version of the 1972 design is available with a counterweight pulley system, allowing the pendant to be height-adjustable, a practical nod to Tynell’s engineering ingenuity. Whether used in residential living spaces or layered in hospitality settings, the collection strikes a timeless balance between decorative design and functional lighting.
