Alvar Aalto Flying Saucer Pendant Light By Alvar Aalto, Finland

Product Details

Product Description

This pendant light resembling a "flying saucer" was expertly crafted by Valaisinpaja Oy in Finland based on a design by Alvar Aalto. The wide, tiered shade is complemented by a separate diffuser featuring concentric rings suspended by brass hooks. Valaisinpaja has produced a number of Aalto's designs, including this one, which was introduced in 1956 and released in various iterations. Although it likely dates back to the late 20th century, the piece remains in good vintage condition, displaying minor marks, scratches, and wear associated with its age and use (please refer to images). The original white plastic ceiling canopy and wiring are still intact, although we recommend testing or replacing the wiring to meet local regulations. Accessible by removing the diffuser, the single lamp-holder fits an E27 bulb and suggests the use of a low-heat bulb to prolong its lifespan. Additionally, the maker's label is attached to the inside of the piece. The dimensions measure approximately 56cm in diameter and 26cm in height (excluding cable and canopy).
