artek 88A Coffe Table Birch

Design: Alvar Aalto in 1935 for artek

Concept: The A-version of the tri-coffee tables. Consisting of three coffee tables which vary in size, the two smaller coffee tables can be '' stored '' under the largest, thereby saving a lot of space.

The designer behind: You can not say Artek without also saying Alvar Aalto. The Finnish-born architect and designer was a large part of Artek, and is also behind a larger part of Artek's most well-known furniture and lamp designs. Alvar Aalto experimented in the late 1920s with various forms of innovative manufacturing methods, which also resulted in the creation of the now world-famous' L-leg '' which today can be found on up to 36 artek products such as the three-legged 60 stool, or the larger four-legged E60 stool.
