Kori from Artek is part of the Kori series, designed by TAF, a design and architecture firm based in Stockholm. The word "Kori" is Finnish and means basket, which alludes to the central design idea that effectively combines direct and indirect light to create a warm and welcoming environment. The Kori series includes ceiling lamps, table lamps and floor lamps and represents a fusion of form and function in an innovative way.

The pendant lamp offers practical lighting with a downward, non-glare effect. Its upper part has a curved design that reflects the light downwards, creating an extended beam of soft light. This feature makes the pendant lamp ideal for use over small surfaces such as a small table or arranged in a series to illuminate a larger table. The lamp is made in Italy from recycled aluminum and has a matte white powder coating.
