About the Item

Dimensions: H 66cm, W 76.5cm, D 81cm.
Alvar Aalto was born in Finland in 1898. One of the founders of the furniture company Artek, Aalto’s architecture is modern and extremely distinctive for its individuality with Aalto’s name being highly regarded in the history of design. Aalto studied architecture at the Helsinki University of Technology in 1916. The first piece of architecture designed by Aalto was a house built for his parents, designed while he was still a student.
Aalto married architect Aino Marsio in October 1924. They spent their honeymoon in Italy which bought great inspiration to his later work and prompted them to design several projects together such as the Jyväskylä Workers club. Through travelling around Europe frequently, Aalto found his architectural style by educating himself about modernist techniques. This is when Alto established himself as one of the most unique architects of Finland during his time.
He is acknowledged today as one of the greatest designers of the 20th century.
Alvar Aalto died in Helsinki in May 1976.

- Alvar Aalto War Time Chairs Model 69, Artek 1940sBy Alvar Aalto, Oy Huonekalu-ja Rakennustyötehdas AbLocated in Helsinki, FIA very rare Alvar Aalto chair model 69, manufactured during the 2nd World war years in the 1940s. The iconic L-leg is different in these pieces compared to the normal. As a result of the war, Finland had a shortage of resources including glue, which was normally used in these chairs, so Aalto came up with a new design called the finger joint, to save recources during difficult times. Although can be used as a nornmal chair, this is also a very nice collectors item. We have 2 chairs, and both are stamped "Artek Aalto design" . Can be sold individually or as a pair.
