1967 Adjustable Pendant
Description
Indirect, warm light filters through a conical canvas shade, diffusing gently to create an inviting glow both below and around the fixture. A fabric diffuser beneath the bulb further softens illumination, while a polished brass counterweight pulley offers effortless height adjustment and a sculptural touch. Originally conceived in the 1950s by Paavo Tynell—known as “the man who illuminated Finland”—this pendant blends technical ingenuity with artisanal poise to deliver timeless atmospheric lighting.

Gubi
Design is an unceasing continuum, believes this Danish house, now owned by a second generation. Owner and creative director Jacob Gubi Olsen inherited the helm from his parents Gubi and Lisbeth Larson, who founded the business to showcase their postmodern furniture. Under Jacob’s watch, Gubi added a global focus to its roots in Copenhagen, with a cosmopolitan array of furniture, lighting and interior objects.
Alongside 20th Century icons such as Robert Dudley Best and Greta Magnusson-Grossman, the design house has championed a new wave of design studios including GamFratesi, Space Copenhagen and OeO Studio. “I started out with two very strong designs, Bestlite—a Bauhaus collection designed in 1930—and Gubi Chair, designed in 2003. I felt they had something in common,” says Jacobs. “Iconic appearance, functional design, high quality, aesthetic design language and adaptable for many different kinds of interiors. I took these values as a guideline for any new designs added to the collection ever since.”
