Rare Aino Aalto Floor Lamp Model 806A in Birch and Linen, Taito Oy 1930s

Description
One of the earliest and finest works from the talented and beloved Architect Aino Marsio- Aalto this lamp surely stands out. In this more uncommon version of the 806A lamp the height is adjustable. It comes in full original condition and with an "Artek Aalto design" stamp from the 1930s. Also this version has the switch box that was synonymous and a trademark of the renowned Taito Oy, the company established by Paavo Tynell and that is known for the highest standards in craftsmanship.
This lamp is pure elegance and a rare gem that is rarely on offer.

Aino Aalto (1894-1949) was one of the most distinguished and innovative designers in 20th century Finland, yet her work is often overlooked. Aino was instrumental in creating many of the iconic furniture designs, architectural projects and even the design company Artek, all of which are often completely attributed to her husband Alvar Aalto. In reality the two of them together had a dynamic personal and professional relationship that significantly influenced 20th century design.
