Aalto lounge chair 43, birch - natural/red webbing

Artek’s Lounge Chair 43 was designed by Alvar Aalto in 1937. With its curvy design, the lounge chair is another easily recognisable piece of furniture designed by Aalto. The iconic lounge chair looks as good now as it did when first introduced.

With its form-bent solid birch lamella frame, the stunning piece of furniture further explores the possibilities of bentwood manufacturing. Comparable in strength to tubular steel, the lounge chair showcases the flexibility and stability offered by birch lamella.

Reupholstering your favourite chair can give it a new life. Thanks to its frame of cantilevered laminated birch wood and a linen webbing upholstery, the process is made easy. This classic piece of furniture will be easily passed from one generation to the next.

Lounge Chair 43 is well-suited also in modern interiors. With its relaxed and functional appearance, Artek's design piece makes an excellent lounge chair in both private living rooms and public spaces.

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.
