Artek A808 floor lamp white

The Artek A808 floor lamp combines thin, painted metal rings and a brass neck, leather-covered stem. Alvar Aalto designed the A808 lamp in 1955 for the Helsinki National Pension Institute. The layered, widening rims of the shade resemble several overlapping, upside-down bowls. The large shade rests firmly on the slender, brass neck. The leather cover of the handle is sewn by hand in Finland.

Artek - long-lived classics

Artek was founded in 1935 to sell and market furniture designed by Alvar Aalto . Artek's founders Alvar and Aino Aalto, Nils-Gustav Hahl and Maire Gullichsen published a manifesto drawn up in the spirit of functionalism, according to which Artek's purpose was "to trade in furniture and to promote modern housing culture through exhibitions and other means".

Artek's original values ​​– durability and high quality combined with a clean design language – are still at the core of the company. Artek's powerhouses Alvar and Aino Aalto created their own warm and human style for modern interior design, where nature was a major inspiration. It is the use of natural materials and the tireless search for new technical solutions that have made Artek a company whose values ​​are still relevant today.
