Aalto chair 66, brown leather

Artek’s Chair 66 was designed by Alvar Aalto in 1935. The timeless chair is part of the permanent collection of MoMA, The Museum of Modern Art in New York. Chair 66 can be stated as one of the most popular dining chairs of Alvar Aalto.

The seat of the chair is made of genuine leather and the legs are attached directly to the round seat — Aalto’s patented L-leg structure is featured in many of his famous design pieces. Artek’s Chair 66 has a higher backrest than other Aalto’s dining chairs, that gives the design its remarkable look.

Aalto’s Chair 66 is still a favourite and works well in almost any decor. Placed in the kitchen, hallway or the office, you’ll have yourself a modern eye-catcher with iconic design.

Alvar Aalto

Artek was founded in 1935 by four young idealists – Alvar and Aino Aalto, Nils-Gustav Hahl and Maire Gullichsen published a design manifesto inspired by functionalism, stating that Artek’s aim was “to sell furniture and to promote modern culture of habitation by exhibitions and other means”. Since its foundation, Artek has played in the intersection of design, architecture, and art, making Finnish design and Alvar Aalto's furniture known all over the world.
