He belonged to the generation that, during the 1920s and 1930s, laid the foundation for the Finnish art industry on which the renowned design movement of the 1950s would later flourish. His most active design years fell between 1919 and 1954, when Oy Taito Ab was in full operation. During that period, he created numerous decorative lamps, which found their way into both public buildings, such as churches, hospitals, restaurants, cinemas, hotels, schools, offices, and factories, and private homes. Taito’s reputation also grew among prominent architects, making it one of Finland’s leading lighting manufacturers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Morentz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55666032705879,"sku":null,"price":11700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5187\/1548\/files\/50119758_St_P_6_dab8f77e-6a68-4364-a88a-1bc14fd31da6.jpg?v=1793368878","url":"https:\/\/www.morentz.com\/products\/paavo-tynell-for-taito-oy-rare-pair-of-7227-wall-lights","provider":"Morentz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
