Price History
Description
First created for Helsinki’s Hotel Aulanko in 1935 and reintroduced by GUBI in 2018, the 9602 Floor Lamp comprises a rattan-wrapped stem with a polished brass base and conical crown that ties the design together. In this special edition, GUBI brings together two masters of 20th-century design – the Finnish lighting maestro Paavo Tynell, and the renowned Parisian textile house Maison Pierre Frey, introducing a dreamlike new dimension to the Tynell Collection.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Gubi 9602 floor lamp for its sleek brass finish combined with the colourful, textured shade, which adds a subtle touch of personality to a space. It works particularly well in contemporary or mid-century styled interiors where its clean lines and warm metal tones can shine. For practical styling, position it beside a comfortable armchair or sofa to create an inviting reading nook, or use it to add ambient lighting in a living room corner. Keep accessories minimal around it to let the lamp be a statement piece, and consider pairing it with modern or vintage pieces that complement its understated elegance and playful shade design.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture 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.
Influences and Design Philosophy
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.
Modern Expansion and Growth
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.
