Artek A808 Floor Light

The hand-turned shade of this elegant floor light A808 from Finnish manufacturer Artek is made of delicate, lacquered metal strips that prevent glare by diffusing light evenly. The strips form concentric circles of increasing size that combine to form an inverted bowl shape. The slender angled neck has a polished brass collar that contrasts appealingly with the stand’s black leather finish, which is hand-sewn in Finland. The floor light in Nordic look was designed by Alvar Aalto in 1955 for the National Pensions Institute in Helsinki.

Floor Light A808 from Artek in timeless style is available with a white lacquered or polished brass shade. Floor lights can be positioned to provide optimal illumination. Levels of brightness and the interplay of direct and indirect light can be adjusted with the position and angle of the floor light. Sculptural in presence, beautiful as objects, Artek floor lights cast a light as characteristically diffuse as one would expect from the designs of Alvar Aalto.

Alvar Aalto is known for modern Finnish architecture and design, which heavily influenced the world in the 1930s. This light from Artek is supplied without a bulb.
