Alvar Aalto Dining Table with Lazy Susan B91 and 6 Chairs Model 66, Artek, 1940s
-
Description
This dining set is in beautiful condition. The table without the serving board "Lazy Susan" is model A 91 ( with the serving board B 91 ), and the chairs are model no. 66 with the high back. The legs of the table can be easily dismanteled for logistics or storage. The chairs as well. At Artek these small details and characteristics were thought of intentionally as a lot of the furniture was intended for overseas markets. The round serving board or plate is also completely detachable from the table and can be even excluded all together if one so chooses.
Both the table and chairs are made of fine Finnish birch. They have been refinished professionally and are now in good condition.
May we add also that the first things that one sees in this elegant dining set is the incredible simplicity and functionality that Finnish design is so world famous for.
We can pack and ship this set in 2 or 3 different boxes. One or 2 for the chairs and the other for the tables.
Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) is a world famous architect and designer. He was well known for designing his own line of furniture and lighting for the numerous buildings that he designed worldwide. His work includes architecture, furniture, textiles, glassware, sculptures and paintings. He never regarded himself as an artist, seeing painting and sculpture as branches of a tree that stem from architecture.
Aalto's career from the 1920s-1970s is reflected in the styles of his work, ranging from Classicism to Modernism and to an organic style from the 1940s onwards. Aalto and his wife Aino were famous for not only designing the buildings, but the interior surfaces, furniture, lamps and even the glassware for those buildings. Aalto's furniture designs are Scandinavian Modernism at its best, especially his technical innovations on the bent plywood furniture, which in turn had a great impact on Mid-Century Modernist furniture.
Aalto's works are highly sought after and some fetch record prices in auctions and the design world. Of course his works are also widely collected and can be found in numerous private collections and famous museums. -
