How Much is a Tables By Aalto?
- What is Alvar Aalto known for?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024Alvar Aalto is known for bringing Scandinavian modernism and Nordic design to global prominence. In his designs for buildings and furniture, Aalto's sensitivity to the natural world and to organic forms and materials tempered the hardness of rationalist design. One of his most famous pieces is the Paimio armchair, which he designed in 1930 for a Finnish tuberculosis sanatorium. Comfortable yet light enough to be easily moved by patients, the Paimio chair's frame is made of two laminated birch loops. The seat and back are formed from a single sheet of plywood that scrolls under the headrest and beneath the knees, creating a pillow effect. Aalto's use of plywood had an enormous influence on Charles and Ray Eames, Arne Jacobsen, Marcel Breuer and many others. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of Alvar Aalto furniture.
- What style did Alvar Aalto use?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024The style most commonly associated with Alvar Aalto is Scandinavian modern. As an architect and designer, Aalto deserves an immense share of the credit for bringing Scandinavian modernism and Nordic design to a prominent place in the global arena. In both his buildings and his vintage furniture, Aalto's sensitivity to the natural world and organic forms and materials tempered the hardness of rationalist design, as is indicative of Scandinavian modern pieces. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Alvar Aalto furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024The Paimio chair, designed by Alvar Aalto, is a type of armchair created in 1932. Also called the Armchair 41, it was intended to help people breathe easier and was designed for a tuberculosis sanatorium in the Finnish city of Paimio. For the chair's frame, Aalto and his wife, Aino, opted to use Finland's native birchwood, which is strong and inexpensive and felt warmer and more organic than the tubular steel found in similarly shaped pieces. Laminated wood loops form the arms, legs and a pair of flat skids, while its sculptural seat and back are built from a single piece of thin plywood. Shop a variety of Alvar Aalto Paimio chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024Yes, end tables are generally taller than coffee tables.
The term “end table” is frequently used interchangeably with “coffee table,” and while these two furnishings have much in common, each table type offers its own distinctive benefits in your space.
Your end table is likely going to stand as tall as the arms of your sofa, and its depth will match the seating. These attributes allow for tucking the table neatly at the end of your sofa in order to provide an elevated surface between your seating and the wall. End tables are accent pieces — they’re a close cousin to side tables, but side tables, not unlike the show-stealing low-profile coffee table, are intended to be positioned prominently and have more to do with the flow and design of a room than an end table, which does a great job but does it out of the way of everything else.
Find all kinds of antique and vintage tables on 1stDibs. - 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023There are two differences between end tables and side tables: function and size. Typically, end tables go beside a chair or at opposite ends of a sofa and have smaller tabletops, while side tables go toward the sides of seating areas or against walls and feature a larger surface area. However, many people use the words side and end tables interchangeably, so these differences may not always apply. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of end and side tables.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023The main difference between a bistro table and a pub table is the size. A bistro table is usually around 28 to 36 inches tall, so you can sit at it with a standard dining chair. Often, people pair bistro chairs with bistro tables. A pub table is taller at around 40 to 44 inches and requires a pub-height chair or stool for comfortable seating. Find a variety of pub and bistro tables on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021The difference between a billiard table and a pool table is primarily the size. The basic dimensions of a billiard table are usually 10’ by 5’, whereas a pool table is a relatively smaller structure, as they’re usually 3.5’ by 7’. An additional way that these tables differ from each other is the absence of pockets on the billiard table. Shop a range of billiard and pool tables on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023The main difference between a drawing table and a drafting table is adjustability. Typically, drawing table writing surfaces are stationary, while most drafting tables can be tilted and moved up and down. However, some people use the terms drawing and drafting table interchangeably to describe any table with a tilted writing surface. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of drafting tables.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022While both pieces are relatively new to the furniture world, the main difference between them are their shapes. A cocktail table is generally square or rectangular in shape, while a coffee table tends to be oval or circular in shape. You can shop a collection of furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 22, 2019

- What is an entryway table?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

- What is a demilune table?2 Answers1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
A demilune table has a semicircular top, allowing it to stand flush against a wall or sofa back.
1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021Demilune tables are shaped like semi-circles, which makes sense because demilune means “half moon” in French. They’re typically quite small, making them ideal for decoration in an entryway or living room. - What is an accent table?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
Accent tables serve a decorative, rather than a practical, function.
- What is a Pembroke table?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 23, 2019
A pembroke table has one or two drop leaves that can be lifted to make it longer. The piece is named for the noted architect Henry Herbert, 9th Earl of Pembroke.
- What is a center table?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 21, 2019
A center table is usually circular and placed in the middle of a parlor or foyer, although they may appear elsewhere. They can be made of any material — including marble, glass, wood and lucite — and typically do not adhere to any particular style. Because of this variability, they are generally easy to position in a room.
- What is a gueridon table?1 Answer
- What is a tulip table?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024A tulip table is a dining table or occasional table of a certain shape. It’s typically characterized by a slender stem-like pedestal base and a round tabletop. Its name is drawn from the name given to chairs that are part of a collection that Finnish-American designer and architect Eero Saarinen created for iconic mid-century furniture manufacturer Knoll during the 1950s.
The tables in Saarinen’s acclaimed series were called Pedestal tables, while the chairs were called Tulip chairs, armless or not, owing to their flower bulb-like shape. Today, design lovers everywhere frequently refer to Saarinen's Pedestal tables as tulip tables, and any table that looks like a Pedestal table is generally referred to as a tulip table, whether or not Saarinen had anything to do with it.
Find vintage Eero Saarinen tables on 1stDibs. - What is a naga table?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023A naga table is a table produced by artisans from Nagaland, a region in North East India. Typically, the tables are solid hardwood, but some have iron legs. Traditionally, people used naga tables for grinding grains, but today they serve as accent tables in homes throughout the world. On 1stDibs, find a selection of naga tables.
