Alvar Aalto Table 83

Designed by Finnish architect and modernist pioneer Alvar Aalto, the Model 83 table is a timeless example of functionalist design infused with natural warmth. Originally conceived in the 1930s and produced by Artek, this piece showcases Aalto’s signature use of bent birch wood, emphasising organic form and simplicity.

The table features a rectangular birch top supported by Aalto’s iconic L-leg system, in which the solid birch legs curve gently from the corners, eliminating the need for complicated joinery. This ingenious method creates both strength and elegance while reflecting Aalto’s commitment to innovation in wood bending techniques.

With its clean lines and light visual presence, the Model 83 is ideal for a variety of settings, its larger dimensions allow for a variety of uses and add to the piece's overall versatility.
