A110 Pendant Lamp duotone

The Artek A110 Hand Grenade Pendant Lamp – Linen is a striking new version of the iconic design by Finnish architect and designer Alvar Aalto. With its slender, sculptural silhouette and refined color combination, the A110 is a timeless design classic that effortlessly blends functionality with aesthetics.

The new Linen edition draws inspiration from the vintage fabric lampshades that have been part of the Artek collection over the years. Its soft, natural hue lends the design a warm, understated appearance, while the subtle color contrast between the upper and lower sections further accentuates its distinctive form.

A notable detail is the perforated brass ring at the base of the lamp. This feature ensures a refined diffusion of light, creating an atmospheric effect characteristic of Alvar Aalto’s lighting designs. The result is a pleasing balance of direct and indirect light.

With its elegant cylindrical shape and compact 16 cm diameter, the A110 is perfectly suited for placement above a dining table, a kitchen counter, or as a stylish bedside light. Even when switched off, its sculptural design remains a striking feature within any interior.

A Scandinavian design classic in a new color.

The A110—also known as the "Hand Grenade"—derives its name from its characteristic elongated shape. The combination of clean geometric lines and carefully considered lighting details reflects Aalto’s vision of functional, atmospheric design.

The new Linen color gives this classic a contemporary feel, while offering a subtle nod to Artek’s rich history. The warm brass details create an elegant contrast with the soft, natural tone of the lampshade.
