Aalto table 84, 120 x 120 cm, birch - black linoleum

Artek's Table 84, designed by Alvar Aalto in 1933, is a spacious and versatile wooden dining table that can also serve as a desk or a conference table. The Aalto table 84 features solid birch legs and edges, and its square-shaped tabletop is finished with a soft, matte linoleum, an ideal material for writing desks. Made in Finland.

Aalto tables are built on the clever combination of Alvar Aalto's iconic L-legs and various tabletops. Aalto first introduced the bent L-leg in 1933, and it quickly became a standard component in his furniture designs. Reflecting on his legacy as a designer and architect, Aalto considered the development of the L-leg as his greatest achievement, even calling this innovative structure the "little sister of the architectonic column". Thanks to their minimalist charm, Artek tables blend seamlessly with each other and a wide range of chairs, making them a versatile choice for homes, public spaces, and offices alike.

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.
