Literature: Hatje Cantz: "Alvar & Aino Aalto Design". Collection Bischofberger, ill. p. 181.
Provenance: Architect Jean Jacques Baruël, hence by descent. Jean Jacques Baruël received the pendant and a very early "Savoy" vase as a wedding gift from Alvar Aalto at his wedding in 1954. Since then, the lamp hung over a side table with the vase on top, so the two could complement each other as Alvar Alto intended them to. For six years, Baruël was employed by Alvar Aalto in Finland. They maintained a life long friendship culminating in their collaboration on Nordjyllands Kunstmuseum.
