Artek
A805 Angel Wing Floor Lamp
Price € 2.464,00
A lamp capable of awakening the imagination thanks to the plastic modernity of its avant-garde design. A805 comes with a surprising combination of lines and curves, allowing for great interaction between direct and indirect light, between reflection and sharpness. A polished brass collar offers a charming contrast to the white shade of the lampshade and the black leather finish of the stand. The shape is deliberately asymmetrical and recalls an angel's wing, a detail which gives it its name. The design is by Alvar Aalto, creator of numerous works for Artek, as well as an undisputed modernity among his other works.

A pearl of Finnish design, Artek brings together in its catalog many of the most important furnishings produced in this country. The name of Artek is inextricably linked to that of its founder, the legendary Alvar Aalto, who left an indelible mark on the brand's production and more generally on all Scandinavian design. His peculiar interpretation of modernism, close to the shapes and colors of nature, permeates all Artek collections and is also found in the works of designers who have given shape to the brand after him. The curved wood, often in light colors, replaces the cold tubular steel and creates harmonious and relaxing atmospheres, unmistakably Nordic.Read more
Designed by
Alvar Aalto
Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) is a true legend of Finnish architecture and design and can rightly be considered the founding father of the Scandinavian path to Modernism, richer in warmth and closer to nature than the original model. Where Le Corbusier and Marcel Breuer used a cold material such as tubular steel, Aalto introduces curved plywood, in whose use he was a pioneer and master. Another material much loved by him for its natural characteristics was glass, folded in bold and sinuous curves in his creations for Iittala. His most prolific period was the 1930s, to which many of his most famous architectural projects date back, such as the Viipuri library, the Paimio sanatorium or the famous Villa Mairea in Noormarkku. In 1935 he founded the Artek company together with his wife Aino Marsio, his long-time collaborator, and other partners. The brand was dedicated to the mass production of the furniture and lamps he conceived and will meet an incredible worldwide success, which lasts until today.Read more
