The stylish A808 floor lamp was created by Alvar Aalto in 1954 for the Finnish furniture manufacturer Artek. A808 is a timeless icon of functionalist furniture design and has a beautiful and very distinctive expression. When Alvar Aalto was a child, he was constantly enchanted by filtered and subdued light, which he would later explain as "like the light streaming in through my grandmother's lace curtains on a hot summer's day". As a result, his lighting designs came to have the same feel in terms of light, which is no exception for the beautiful and eye-catching angelwing lamp.

The A808 floor lamp has a beautiful and unique hand-riveted, brass shade made of steel slats and a stand covered in black leather. The shade is also available in white lacquered steel slats.
