Pil Bredahl on the design: "The storage system is made for the modern nomad and inspired by the fact that we move more often in our lives than ever before. It can be separated and assembled very easily. It has a clear sculptural value and you can put it in the formations you like best. When it’s not used for books, magazines, clothes, etc. It can lay on the floor, each ring inside the bigger ring creating a beautiful pattern."

Artek was founded in 1935 by four young Finns led by the visionary modern architect Alvar Aalto.

Alvar Aalto began designing furnishings as a natural and important extension of his architectural thinking. His first modern furniture was created in 1931-32 for the tuberculosis sanatorium in Paimio, which proved to be his international breakthrough. Artek was set up in 1935 to market Aalto's furniture, lamps and textiles, particularly on international markets where Artek focused its operations from the initial stages.

Artek's design philosophy brings a human perspective to modernism. By blending functionalism with form and sculptural simplicity with the emotional warmth of wood, Artek's furniture supports and nourishes our physical and psychological wellbeing.

Artek's iconic status is founded on innovative design thanks to its founder, Alvar Aalto. In the 1930s Aalto invented new methods for bending and splicing wood to realise the revolutionary structural ideas and fluid organic forms of his most dynamic designs.

Artek's reputation is founded on our commitment to quality and continuity. Modern techniques combined with traditional craftsmanship ensure the quality of each piece of furniture. Tables and chairs supplied in the 1930s are still in use proving the furniture's longevity and graceful aging process. This is supported by a service policy that ensures we can provide any replacement part.

The revisiting of a classic: the baroque table lamp. The revolutionary feature of this lamp is that it is made entirely of transparent or batch-dyed polycarbonate. On the one hand, it is classical, rich and traditional, and on the other, it is innovative, transparent and ironic. The quality of the material and its extremely highquality processing lend it the resemblance of a precious, crystal table lamp.

The baroque style base is composed of three decorated layers that interconnect, and the large lampshade is made with a plissé effect, to create a myriad play of reflections once the lamp is turned on.

Thanks to a special coupling system on the lampshade, it can be assembled at three different heights: 68, 73 and 78 centimetres. You can choose to assemble it at the height you prefer and, later, modify it according to your preferred use. In this way, Bourgie takes on greater personality, giving the user the possibility to transform it instantly into a splendid decorative table or desk lamp.
