GUBI x GARRO ÉDITIONS: a special edition of the 9602 Floor Lamp
In a new collaboration, GUBI and the boutique Parisian textile house GARRO ÉDITIONS bring together two pioneering figures of 20th-century art and design: Finnish lighting legend Paavo Tynell and revered English sculptor and artist Henry Moore. This special edition combines the classically Scandinavian elegance of Tynell's 9602 Floor Lamp with the dynamic energy of Moore’s black-line drawings. The result is a striking lamp that is both a functional lighting solution and a collectible tribute to the two trailblazing modernist creatives.
Like GUBI, GARRO ÉDITIONS is devoted to celebrating masterpieces from the 20th century onwards, often reviving and reinventing forgotten treasures for modern-day interiors. Whereas GUBI delves into design, GARRO ÉDITIONS brings the finest contemporary art into the realm of premium linen fabrics, combining hand-picked works by some of the greatest artists with the peerless savoir-faire of French textile artisans.
9602’s Lamp by Paavo Tynell featuring textile #1009 ‘Haringey Circus Horses’ by Henry Moore, edited by Garro Éditions
“Our collaboration with GARRO ÉDITIONS honors the legacies of two visionary 20th-century creative figures, both masters in their fields. In this special edition, Paavo Tynell’s exceptional talent for lighting design converges with Henry Moore’s artistic gift, creating a truly extraordinary piece that straddles the border between design and art.” - Marie Kristine Schmidt, CEO, GUBI
By translating Moore’s artwork into textile form, the 9602 special edition achieves a rare balance: it preserves the integrity of the original drawing while adding a sculptural quality to the illumination, elevating the lamp from a functional design to a work of art. The contrasting elements – Moore’s dynamic forms against Tynell’s sleek geometry – create a visual appeal that transforms the lamp into an expressive and distinctly modern statement piece.
The 9602’s special edition lamp GUBI x GARRO ÉDITIONS is available online and in selected retailers worldwide.
