Her collaboration with the German glass manufacturer Glashütte Limburg helped bring her bubble glass creations to a broader market.
Helena Tynell’s bubble glass designs are characterized by their distinctive, bubbly texture that resembles clusters of soap bubbles. This unique surface creates a captivating light effect when illuminated, scattering light in a playful and decorative manner.
This pair is made of hand-blown, lightly tinted thick glass, showcasing a high level of craftsmanship. The wall lights feature a rounded, bubble-covered glass front mounted on a simple, gold-painted metal base.
Tynell's bubble lamps perfectly captured the spirit of the experimental 1960s, combining artistic design with functional lighting.
The glass is in perfect condition, and the minimal signs of age on the metal base do not detract from the overall appearance, as the glass covers it completely.
Each lamp requires one E27 bulb. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
