Aalto bench 167, birch - Prestige cognac leather

Artek’s bench 167 is a lightweight yet sturdy wooden bench designed by Alvar Aalto in 1945. As with many other Aalto designs, the bench features L-shaped legs bent from solid birch, while the seat is upholstered in leather. Made in Finland.

The generously sized bench 167 works equally well at a dining table or as seating in an entryway, and it is also well suited for public spaces. Despite its age, the bench has a fresh, modern expression that makes it easy to combine with both contemporary furniture and timeless design classics.

Alvar Aalto

Since its founding in 1935, Finnish furniture manufacturer Artek has stood at the intersection of Nordic design, architecture and art. By doing so, Artek has elevated Finnish design, along with Aino and Alvar Aalto's furniture, to global recognition.

Artek’s furniture and lighting are cornerstones of Finnish design, gracing numerous homes and public spaces worldwide. Even today, most of Artek's wooden furniture is crafted in Finland.
