Manufacturer: Artek | Designer: Alvar Aalto, 1955/1956

The A808 was designed by Aalto for the National Pensions Institute in Helsinki in 1955 — the same commission that produced the Angel Wing A805. Where the A805 uses a louvered shade, the A808 takes a cleaner approach: a hand-spun shade in either white painted steel or polished brass, forming a smooth inverted bowl that directs light downward with quiet authority. The stand is steel covered in hand-sewn black leather, connected by a polished brass tube — a material combination that gives the lamp a considered, almost architectural presence. Available in two shade finishes; the brass variant pairs the shade material with the tube for a fully unified look.

  • Dimensions: Diameter: 40cm × Height: 163cm
  • Base and stand: Steel, covered with black leather
  • Tube: Polished brass
  • Shade: Hand-spun steel (white painted) or hand-spun brass (polished), depending on variant
  • Bulb required (not included): E27, 12W max
  • IP20 rated
