Pair of Alvar Aalto Model 68 Chairs

This pair of Alvar Aalto Model 68 chairs for Artek embody classic mid-century design, defined by clean geometry, thoughtful proportions, and the innovative use of bent birch plywood. 

The chairs feature Aalto’s signature L-shaped legs, which curve smoothly to create a unified, seamless structure. Their round, natural birch seat keep a continuity to the design while adding a cleanness and minimal aesthetic. The backrest is gently angled and minimal in form, offering support without interrupting the chair’s streamlined silhouette. 

Designed for both visual clarity and everyday practicality, these pieces reflects the enduring modernism central to Aalto’s work.
