Silk matt opal glass: A440 pendant lamp Artek

The A440 pendant lamp by Artek in bell-like form enchants with its soft shapes. in 1954, it was designed by the Finnish cult designer Alvar Aalto, who chose mouth-blown opal glass as material. A fantastic idea, because the light is gently diffused into the room and creates a pleasant atmosphere of well-being. In addition, the silk matt opal glass gives the luminaire a noble appearance. Where exactly in your home the classic design lamp by Artek comes into its own is up to you. It is guaranteed to look just as good above your living room or dining table as it does in the bedroom or entrance area. 

Ingenious pioneer in furniture construction: architect and designer Alvar Aalto

Alvar Aalto is considered one of the best designers and architects in the world. As early as the 1930s, the Finn amazed us with constructions that are still indispensable in the furniture industry today. Aalto is also the pioneer par excellence in laminated wood processing. Influenced by the German Bauhaus, he experimented with this material since the end of the 1920s and, together with his wife Aino Aalto, created numerous pieces of furniture that combined modern forms with natural materials. His architectural masterpieces include the Paimio Clinic in Turku (now a World Heritage Site), the library in Viipuri (in what is now Russia) and the Finnish pavilion at the 1939 New York World's Fair.

Artek - always modern 

Artek was founded in Helsinki in 1935 by four young idealists: Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen and Nils-Gustav Hahl. With their designs, they wanted to promote a modern culture of living. The radical spirit of its founders still lives in Artek today and so the company produces furniture from the world of modern design that stands at the interface of design, architecture and art. They are characterised by clarity, functionality and poetic simplicity.
