The stylish A811 floor lamp was created by Alvar Aalto in 1954 for the Finnish furniture manufacturer Artek. A811 is a former icon of functionalist furniture design and has a beautiful and incredibly special expression. When Alvar Aalto was a child, he was constantly enchanted by filtered and dimmed light, which he would later describe as "the way light streams 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 lamp.

The A811 floor lamp has a beautiful and unique hand-riveted, white lacquered shade of steel slats and a black leather-covered stem. Also visible between the shade and the leather upholstery is an attractive accent consisting of a top piece available in either polished brass or nickel-plated brass.
