Imagine this gem as a set around your dining room table! A dream come true that you will cherish for a long time. You can also have the 66 chair with an upholstered seat, it comes in different fabric and leather versions.
Ingenious pioneer in furniture design: architect and designer Alvar Aalto
Alvar Aalto is considered one of the best designers and architects in the world. As early as the 1930s, the Finn amazed us with constructions that are still indispensable in the furniture industry today. Aalto is also the pioneer par excellence in laminated wood processing. Influenced by the German Bauhaus, he experimented with this material since the end of the 1920s and, together with his wife Aino Aalto, created numerous pieces of furniture that combined modern forms with natural materials. His architectural masterpieces include the Paimio Clinic in Turku (now a World Heritage Site), the library in Viipuri (in what is now Russia) and the Finnish pavilion at the 1939 New York World's Fair.
Artek - always modern
Artek was founded in Helsinki in 1935 by four young idealists: Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen and Nils-Gustav Hahl. With their designs, they wanted to promote a modern culture of living. The radical spirit of its founders still lives in Artek today and so the company produces furniture from the world of modern design that stands at the interface of design, architecture and art. They are characterised by clarity, functionality and poetic simplicity.
