There are echoes of the Art Deco period in Alto’s A805, which is affectionately referred to as ‘Angel Wing’ due to the resemblance it holds to the object from which it takes its name.
Built of steel, with polished brass tube and a leather-covered base, the A805 is a beautifully designed object, which makes for an impressive sculptural piece as much as it does a source of illumination. First designed in 1954, the Angel Wing is a piece rich in heritage and style.
As one of the great architects and furniture designers of the 20th century, Finnish designer Alvar Aalto breathed life and warmth into modernism, placing emphasis on "organic" geometry; supple, natural materials; and a respect for human feeling.
Alvar Aalto's collection of mid-century furniture and lighting is produced exclusively by Scandinavian brand Artek including the iconic Artek 60 Stool.
