Product information
Description

Artek chair 65 birch white lacquered.

Artek's chair number 65 is one of the many dining room chairs designed by Alvar Aalto in the 1930s. Made from a single piece of birch veneer, the backrest is lower than normal and slightly curved, making the chair comfortable to sit on. Typical for Aalto furniture is the round seat, which is supported by four L-legs.

The L-leg structure is achieved by sawing open a piece of straight solid birch wood at the end in the direction of the fibres, creating the shape of a fan. Thin pieces of plywood are then glued into the grooves. This structure makes it possible to bend the wood by heating or steaming to the desired angle and, when completely dry, the strong structure can be attached directly to the seat.

About the designer:

Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) is probably the most famous Finnish architect and designer in the world. In 1921, Alvar Aalto obtained a degree in Architecture from the Helsinki Institute of Technology and began his career as an architect. One of the most important works he was commissioned was the planning of the tuberculosis sanatorium in Paimio, Finland.

This project also marked the beginning of Aalto's career as a furniture designer - in fact this was the first building planned by Aalto to be completely furnished with furniture designed by Aalto himself - including the lighting.

Other major projects completed by Alvar Aalto include the Municipal Library of Viipuri, Villa Mairea, La Maison Carré, and the Finnish pavilions for the 1937 Paris and 1939 New York World Expositions.
