Artek lighting | Aino Aalto

Discover Artek lighting: Nordic elegance for every room

Featuring sophisticated yet minimalistic Nordic designs in elegant colours ranging from neutral black and white to warm gold and shiny silver, our Artek lighting collection has something for every room. Each one reflects the vision that the brand's founders had in Helsinki in 1935 – to bring together art and technology to improve everyday living.

You can choose from Artek pendant lights, floor lamps and wall lamps designed by Artek founders Aino and Alvar Aalto, as well as more recent contributions from contemporary designers including TAF Studio. Explore the collection for your perfect match, and feel free to combine it with Nordic design classics in Finnish Design Shop's lighting collection.

Which Artek lamps will look best in my home?

Pendant lights: Featuring a single hanging bulb with a range of distinctive shades, Artek pendant lights are a good choice for overhead lighting that will provide ambient and task lighting without overwhelming a room.

Wall lamps: Artek wall lamps can provide added ambience and a decorative focus, when placed, for instance, on the living room wall or next to a bed.

Floor lamps: Alvar Aalto designed a range of floor lamps that provide a cosy and elegant alternative to overhead lighting. Artek floor lamps are ideal for mood lighting as well as task lighting and reading.

Once you've picked out the Artek lighting to best suit your room, consider pairing it with other Aalto designs, such as Artek chairs.
