artek Aalto 90A Round Table Black Lacquered Birch/ Black Linoleum

Design: Alvar Aalto in 1935 for artek

Concept: The Aalto table, designed by Alvar Aalto, is a simple and stylish table. The simple table is made of solid birch wood, but is available with either a linoleum, laminate or pure wood top. The ability to choose between these robust and durable materials also makes it easy to use the table in the home. For example, the Linoleum top is better to use as a desk, while the laminate top can be used in a more abrasive context as it is more robust.

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.
