Kori table lamp, white
Description
The Kori table 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 cosy, 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.
In the Kori table lamp, the “basket of light” has been turned upside down resulting in a luminaire that looks like a miniature lamppost or perhaps a tiny lighthouse guiding weary travellers back home. The multifunctional lamp emits a beam of direct uplight as well as diffused downward light on a wider area, and it is, therefore, suitable for a variety of uses from accent lighting to a reading light – place it on a shelf, sideboard, windowsill or bedside table.

The Swedish architects Gabriella Lenke and Mattias Ståhlbom have steered the Stockholm-based architecture and design office TAF Studio (formerly TAF Architects) since 2002.
The various manifestations of architecture and the phenomena of everyday life bring the members of TAF Studio endless challenges: the studio aims to make everyday life more exciting through small but effective changes. The starting point is often the realisation that the ordinariness of an object can be precisely the quality that makes it extraordinary.
The Swedish TAF Studio draws inspiration from everyday life
TAF Studio is a Stockholm-based design and architecture studio founded by Gabriella Lenke and Mattias Ståhlbom in 2002, after they graduated from the Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design.
The studio works with furniture, lighting and interior architecture, and its design is guided by the idea of reinterpreting everyday objects and spaces through clear yet insightful design. TAF Studio has operated internationally from the very start.
A reinterpreter of familiar surroundings
The starting point of TAF Studio’s design is the observation of the everyday all around: the designers seek to identify the familiar visual codes attached to spaces and objects and reshape them into new, easily approachable products.
The result is objects that feel immediately understandable to the user. Structures, materials and colours are often left visible, and scale or context is altered in a way that invites the user to become part of the object and its use.
Scandinavian design with an international touch
TAF Studio has collaborated with several international brands: Muuto, Artek, String Furniture and Skagerak. The products and interior projects they have designed have been seen widely in both commercial spaces and architectural settings, and the studio’s handprint shows strongly across the field of Nordic contemporary design.
In 2017, TAF Studio was honoured with the prestigious Bruno Mathsson Prize, awarded for a significant contribution to the furniture and design field. The studio’s work is on display at the MoMA in New York, the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm and Designmuseum Danmark in Copenhagen, among others.
