The specialist Finnish lighting designer Paavo Tynell proved to be the strong suit in a 111-lot Scandinavian design sale held on May 29 by Artcurial (25/20/12% buyer’s premium) in Paris.
A dozen lots of 50s and 60s models by Tynell were offered and all bar one sold. A version of the Snowflake ceiling light, a 1950 design for the firm Taito Oy, provided the top price of the sale at €90,000 (£78,950).
