A805 Angel Wing Floor Lamp olive green

A805 Angel Wing Floor Lamp olive green

The Artek A805 Angel Wing Floor Lamp – Olive Green is a special limited edition of the iconic 1954 design by Alvar Aalto. Featuring a sculptural, asymmetrical lampshade and a refined combination of materials, the Angel Wing is a timeless design classic that brings together elegance and functionality.

The distinctive lampshade is composed of metal slats, carefully joined by hand; their layered form evokes the image of an outstretched angel’s wing. The combination of olive-green lacquered steel, polished brass, and black leather gives the floor lamp a warm, sophisticated appearance. The slats ensure a pleasant diffusion of light, creating a subtle interplay of light and shadow.

Alvar Aalto originally designed the A805 for the Social Insurance Institution building in Helsinki. This unique Olive Green version was later developed for the St. George design hotel, which opened its doors in Helsinki in 2018. The color was inspired by a vintage floor lamp from Aalto’s own studio.

Standing 174 cm tall, the Angel Wing makes an elegant statement in a living room, beside an armchair, or within a stylish reception area. The floor lamp also pairs beautifully with the Artek A910 wall lamp, which is available in the same olive-green finish.

A sculptural design by Alvar Aalto

The A805 Angel Wing reflects Aalto’s signature approach to lighting—one centered on organic forms, a natural experience of light, and carefully selected materials. The asymmetrical shade diffuses light in a soft, atmospheric way, while the combination of brass and leather lends the design a remarkably rich character. Even when switched off, the Angel Wing remains an impressive sculptural object.

This special olive-green version is available in limited quantities only.
