Description
Alvar Aalto designed Artek’s A110 ceiling lamp, playfully called the Hand Grenade, in 1952. The lamp’s beauty is based on its shape, which is simple and timeless. The A110 pendant consists of two cylinders, one inside the other, and the light is reflected upwards at the point where the cylinders meet. As an elegant detail, the A110 lamp features a perforated steel ring which beautifully diffuses the downward light. As with many other lamps designed by Aalto, also the Hand Grenade can be suspended in a group.
The special version of the Hand Grenade, launched in 2024, is coloured in two different shades that even further emphasise the sculptural structure of the luminaire. The two-tone appearance of the A110 pendant lamp is also a reminder of the past, as Artek’s luminaire collection has included textile shades in the same linen shade.
