Why you'll love this Pendant Light
This stunning A110 Pendant Light- playfully nicknamed 'Hand Grenade', was designed by Alvar Aalto for the building of the Finnish Engineers' Association in 1952. Now produced by Finnish brand Artek it looks as beautiful as ever, owing to its simple, sophisticated shape that gives it a timeless appeal. Made from lacquered steel, the pendant combines two cylindrical shapes to provide illuminating light in all directions. Light is reflected upwards where the cylinders meet, and the perforated brass ring at the base of the pendant ensures soft, diffused light downwards whilst also giving the light an opulent, metallic touch. A masterpiece in functional, pared-back elegance this light is available in black or white and will fit seamlessly into a variety of interior settings.

Alvar Aalto
Born in Kuortane, Finland in 1898, Alvar Aalto was one of the founders of Finnish brand Artek and is recognised today as one of the greatest masters in modern architecture. His long, prolific and varied career was marked by collaborations with almost all key public institutions - town halls, theatres, churches, libraries and universities - as well as standardised housing and private homes. In fact, it was the Paimio 41 Armchair, created in 1931-32 for the Tuberculosis Sanatorium in Paimio, that provided his international breakthrough. Artek was set up in 1935 to market and sell Alvar and Aino Aalto's furniture, lamps and textiles not just to Finnish customers but also to an international market. To this day, Artek still enjoys worldwide popularity and success, with Aalto's innovative designs forming the basis of the collection.
