The structure of the chandelier is built around a central brass spine, from which six gently arching arms extend, almost like the petals of an opening flower. Each arm supports a cylindrical lampshade made from the original pleated fabric. What’s fascinating about the form is how it balances lightness and structure. The brass is sculptural, with just enough curve to feel organic, yet the chandelier remains grounded in symmetry and proportion. The arms converge towards a cylindrical central core, meticulously wrapped in coiled brass, forming both a formal and functional anchor. The canopy showcases a striking patina: a blend of coppery reds and oxidized greens. A slender brass tube descends, splitting into three gentle arms. Each bulb is subtly revealed through the translucent fabric and paired with satin glass plates, emphasizing warmth over brightness. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinnish designer Paavo Tynell (1890-1973) began his career as a blacksmith.
