Artek Aalto pendant A330S "Golden Bell", black

Artek’s A330S pendant light, known also as Golden Bell, was originally designed for the Restaurant Savoy in 1937. A330S pendant is made of one single piece of steel with a black coating on the outside. The white inside reflects a clean, pleasant light. 

Designing lights had a central part in Alvar Aalto’s work – for him lighting played an important role in architecture. Lamps were a part of the whole that he wanted to control to the smallest detail. Many of Aalto’s lights were originally created for a particular building.
