An original A811 floor lamp designed by Alvar Aalto and produced by Finnish manufacturer Valaistustyö. The lamp features a louvred white-painted metal shade with a brass neck, rising from a black leather-wrapped stem and base. A pull cord extends from beneath the shade. The brass collar is stamped with the model number and maker’s mark: VALAISTUSTYÖ A811.
Designed in the early 1950s, the A811 reflects Aalto’s interest in functionalism and warm, human-centred design. The louvred shade diffuses light softly while the leather detailing and refined materials exemplify his approach to modern lighting.
