GUBI Floor Lamp 9602 Floor Lamp

9602 Floor Lamp

$1,999

Made by GUBI

Paavo Tynell designed the 9602 in 1935, and it has lost none of its quiet authority. Known informally as the Chinese Hat, the lamp's conical shade sits above a slender stem wrapped in natural rattan - a material choice that softens the silhouette and roots the form in craft rather than industry.

The base is cast brass, its weight grounding a composition that might otherwise feel entirely weightless. Light passes through and around the shade as a gentle wash, atmospheric rather than directed, making the 9602 as much a sculptural presence as a light source.

  • Designed by Paavo Tynell, 1935
  • Conical shade available in multiple finishes
  • Rattan-wrapped stem with cast brass base
  • Produces soft, ambient illumination
  • Produced by GUBI under license from the Tynell archive

Tynell was among the first Finnish designers to treat lighting as an architectural element, and the 9602 reflects that sensibility. GUBI's reissue honors the original proportions and materiality, reintroducing a piece of Nordic design history into contemporary interiors with full fidelity to its source.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the 9602 Floor Lamp and when?

The 9602 was designed by Finnish designer Paavo Tynell in 1935. Tynell was a pioneering figure in Scandinavian lighting design, known for his ability to combine craft materials like rattan and brass with a refined, architectural sensibility.

Why is the 9602 called the Chinese Hat lamp?

The nickname comes from the lamp's distinctive conical shade, whose silhouette recalls the shape of a traditional Asian conical hat. The form is deceptively simple, balancing visual lightness with a strong, recognizable profile.

What kind of light does the 9602 Floor Lamp produce?

The 9602 casts a soft, diffused ambient glow rather than focused task lighting. Its shade directs light gently downward and outward, creating a warm atmospheric quality suited to living spaces, reading areas, and reception rooms.

What materials are used in the GUBI 9602 Floor Lamp?

The lamp features a cast brass base, a stem wrapped in natural rattan, and a conical shade available in several finish options. The combination of metal and natural fiber reflects Tynell's characteristic approach to pairing industrial precision with artisanal warmth.

How does GUBI's reissue relate to the original Tynell design?

GUBI produces the 9602 under license from the Tynell archive, maintaining the original proportions, material palette, and construction logic of the 1935 design. The reissue is considered among the most faithful restorations of a mid-century Nordic lighting classic.
