Rectangular Table 81B by Alvar Aalto for Artek
 
In the late 1920s, architect and designer Alvar Aalto began experimenting with bending wood. In collaboration with furniture manufacturer Otto Korhonen, the Finnish master developed a ground-breaking process that resulted in the L-leg. Patented by Aalto in 1933, this technique meant that the warm, organic qualities of wood could be used to form stable hardwearing designs. Its system of standard components enabled the creation of more than 50 versatile products.
 
The Aalto Table conveys a relaxed familiarity. Made of bands of Finnish birch, it radiates natural beauty and warmth, moving easily between public and private spheres in accordance with Alvar Aalto’s conception of versatile furniture.
