Architect Alvar Aalto also had a distinguished career as a lamp designer. Aalto’s lamps often arose from individual construction
projects. Many models were further adapted and developed for serial production. Artek’s production includes several original Aalto lamp designs dating from 1937 to 1959. Their timelessness and ease of co-ordination makes them a versatile and lasting
feature of any interior decoration.
One of my all time favorites, the “Golden Bell” was was designed by Aalto in 1939

About Artek
The husband and wife team of Alvar and Aino Aalto are two of the four individuals that started Artek in 1935. This group of designers, artists and architects were known as innovative and experimental as well as highly skilled craftsmen. Their furniture is often described as timeless and functional while remaining beautiful and well-designed. In 1933 Alvar Aalto patented the bent wooden leg that would become the company's trademark. This L-leg was later used to produce Artek's Y-leg and X-leg, both important innovations in modern furniture design.
The Aalto 400 Tank Chair and the Aalto 60 Stool are both instantly recognizable modern furniture classics. Artek is also responsible for producing the Aalto 41 Paimio Chair and the Aalto 153 Bench. While well-known for their wooden furniture, lighting is also a prominent part of Artek's design portfolio. Two of Alvar Aalto's famous lamp designs, the Aalto a330s pendant and the Aalto a110pendant, are still in production today.
