Description from Hive Modern

  • Design Alvar Aalto, 1935
  • Natural birch plywood, upholstery
  • Made in Finland by Artek

Chair 69 features bent birch plywood which forms the legs and seat back of this simple yet distinguished seat. The seat is available in your choice of birch veneer, laminate or upholstered. Aalto chose to use native birch for its natural feel and insulating properties.

Alvar Aalto was a highly talented architect and an eager spokesman for the international modernist movement. Aalto’s designs were innovative and radical and became known for his experimental approach to bending wood, which greatly influenced American designers Charles & Ray Eames and Finnish-born Eero Saarinen. His style became known as humanist modernism. Alvar Aalto’s dialogue with nature, architecture, design and the human being has become a living legacy.
