Artek - Kori floor lamp

Artek Kori floor lamp.

The Kori lamp series by Artek is designed by TAF Studio, where each design is based on a "light basket". Hence the name Kori = Finnish for "basket".

Artek presents the Kori Collection, a new lighting collection designed by TAF Studio from Stockholm. By combining a well thought-out modular design and a pure appearance, Kori brings a contemporary interpretation to the contemporary fusion of function and form.

The Kori Collection consists of five products - three hanging lamps, a floor lamp and a table lamp - all with their own specific qualities. Each lighting typology serves a different role to cover all basic lighting scenarios.

As expected from an Artek lamp, the Kori lamps emit both direct and indirect light, creating a cosy, welcoming mood lighting that imitates natural light: the soft glow emanating from the "basket" resembles the evening sun shining softly through the leaves.

The luminaires of this series are made in Italy, due to the use of a matte white powder-coated surface, it resembles porcelain. The lamps are designed to be durable and low maintenance, and all metal parts can be easily separated and recycled.

In the floor lamp version, the so-called "light basket" is turned upside down, resulting in a luminaire that looks like a small lamppost or perhaps a small lighthouse guiding weary travelers home. The multifunctional lamp spreads both a direct upward and diffused downward light beam over a fairly wide surface and is therefore suitable for a wide range of applications, from accent lighting to reading light - the lamp is also height-optimized for reading.
