Rattan-covered stem
Characterised by its elegant and airy lampshade and rattan-covered stem, the 9602 Floor Lamp shows the designer’s limitless imagination and unparalleled ability to create designs of enduring beauty. Adding a playful, exuberant quality to the top, balanced by the more static form of the base, the 9602 Floor Lamp is perfectly suited for creating a gentle ambient light in the domestic living room.
9602 FLOOR LAMP
The 9602 Floor Lamp, also known as “Chinese Hat”, was designed by Paavo Tynell in 1935 for the Hotel Aulanko. Polished brass details visually tie the different elements of the elegant floor lamp together and create a delicate contrast with the rattan.
