The A805 floor lamp, also known as the Angel Wing, is a sculptural design classic from Artek, designed by Alvar Aalto in 1954. The lamp owes its nickname to the characteristic, layered shade reminiscent of an outstretched wing – light, elegant, and powerful at the same time.
Angel Wing is a refined interplay of materials and contrasts. The shade consists of thin, hand-cut metal slats that diffuse the light in a soft, indirect way. The light is reflected upward and outward, creating a warm, glare-free glow that subtly fills the room. The slender stem combines polished brass with black leather and steel, giving the lamp a luxurious and timeless look.
Alvar Aalto originally designed the A805 for the National Pensions Institute in Helsinki, but the design still feels surprisingly modern today. The floor lamp fits effortlessly into your contemporary living room, reading corner, or bedroom, but also looks stunning in public spaces such as hotels, lobbies, and offices. Angel Wing is not just a light source, but an architectural object that adds ambiance, tranquility, and character to any environment.
