Authentic High Chair K65 in Birch with Black Lacquer by Alvar Aalto & Artek

Creator: Artek
Offered by: Two Enlighten Los Angeles, LLC

Description
Authentic High Chair K65 in birch with black lacquer by Alvar Aalto & Artek. Combining the best elements of both a stool and a chair, Alvar Aalto's high chair K65 is perfectly proportioned for counter-height seating. The molded birch plywood backrest is low, unobtrusive, and does not extend above the surface of standard height countertop. This model adds just enough back support not to overwhelm the minimal design. It features Aalto's patented, signature L-shape legs and a lower band to rest your feet on. Nothing but the essential components, the Artek Alvar Aalto K65 Low Back Kitchen / Bar Stool is standing proof that less really is more.

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 standardised housing and private homes. One of the co-founders of Artek, Aalto left a legacy with lasting resonance.

Aalto’s architecture is distinctively Finnish, strongly individual, and marked by a warm humanity. His buildings derive their aesthetic character from their dynamic relationship with their natural surroundings, their human scale, superbly executed details, unique treatment of materials, and ingenious use of lighting.

Aalto began designing furnishings as a natural extension of his architectural thinking. His first modern piece of furniture was created in 1931-1932 for the tuberculosis sanatorium in Paimio, Finland. Artek was set up in 1935 to market and sell his and his wife Aino’s furniture, lighting, and textiles, particularly on international markets.
