Description
This fanciful interpretation of nature was designed by Paavo Tynell in 1938 and is crafted today by Gubi. The 5321 Table Lamp is a perfect example of how the Finnish designer brought playfulness and romance to mid-century design. With its bulb subtly appearing from beneath the distinctive seashell-shaped brass shade, the lamp evokes images of pearls resting in the deep sea. The elegant table lamp is finished with a rattan-covered stem and brass-hued textile cord cable for a timeless flourish.
Our Stylist Says
This table lamp is a real statement piece thanks to its striking gold finish and sculptural ribbed shade. I love how it adds a touch of luxe to both modern and eclectic interiors, working especially well on side tables, desks, or bedside tables. When styling with this lamp, consider pairing it with minimalist accessories to let the design shine or placing it alongside textured materials like velvet or linen to create a sophisticated grouping. Practical tips include using warm white bulbs to enhance the golden tones and opting for a clean, uncluttered surface to allow its design to be the star. It’s a versatile choice that brings both elegance and a touch of retro glamour to any space.

About Heal's
Explore from Heal's. Founded in 1810, Heal's are an iconic brand with a history of innovation, and are synonymous with timeless elegance and exceptional design.
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
