Aalto lounge chair 43, birch - natural/white webbing

Artek’s lounge chair 43, designed by Alvar Aalto in 1937, showcases the designer’s refined approach to form and function. Its gracefully curved frame is crafted from lightweight yet durable birch lamella, a material whose strength rivals that of steel. The gently reclined seat features a linen webbing that flexes comfortably with the body, giving the chair a light, airy presence with a natural feel.

The Aalto lounge chair 43 works equally well as a relaxed lounge chair or a cosy spot for resting, both in private homes and public spaces. This iconic piece remains as relevant today as at the time of its introduction, and its clean, functional design blends effortlessly into modern interiors.

If needed, the webbing can be easily reupholstered, allowing this design classic to be passed down from one generation to the next.

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.
