'Chair 66' by Alvar Aalto for Artek

Recognized today as one of the great masters of modern architecture, Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) was born in Kuortane, Finland. During a long and prolific career, Aalto designed buildings for almost all key public institutions, as well as standardized housing and private homes. One of the co-founders of Artek, Aalto left a legacy with lasting resonance.

'Chair 66' is Aalto’s version of the universal wooden chair in the tradition of classic kitchen and café chairs; its visible, additive construction logic is full of character and pleasing to the eye. The chair’s Finnish birch frame is both durable and lightweight, while the wide, handle-like backrest offers comfort and flexibility, making 'Chair 66' easy to move wherever it is needed.
