The Kori pendant light by Artek is part of a collection of luminaires, conceived by TAF Studio, with each design based on a central “basket of light”. This is also where the collection’s name stems from: Kori is Finnish for “basket”.
As you would expect from an Artek luminaire, the Kori lamps emit both direct and indirect light, creating a cozy, welcoming atmosphere and lighting that imitates natural light: the soft glow coming from within the basket resembles the evening sun shining through the leaves. The collection’s luminaires are made in Italy, with their matte white powder-coated surface looking almost like porcelain. The lamps are designed to be durable and low-maintenance, and their metal components can be easily separated and recycled.
As the Kori suspension lamp emits direct downward light, it is ideally placed over a counter or small table. At the same time, however, it also provides diffused uplight, making it perfect for atmospheric or accent lighting above a sideboard or in the corner of a room. Thanks to its minuscule size, the pendant light can also be used as a general light in a hallway or other smaller space.
