Design Alvar Aalto,1935
Glass
Made in Finland by Artek

Table 81A is Alvar Aalto’s timeless design from 1935. The rectangular dining table combines solid birch with easy-care laminate.

Artek tables are based on different combinations of Alvar Aaltos L-leg and table tops. Alvar Aalto introduced the bent L-leg for the first time in 1933 and it became a standard component of Aaltos pieces of furniture. Judging his importance as designer and architect, Alvar Aalto considered as his greatest achievement the development of the L-leg. In his opinion its revolutionary character was comparable to the architectonic column. And actually he even called the L-leg as “the little sister of architectonic column”. The development of the L-leg was really significant because it solved the problem of attaching chairs and tables legs directly to the table tops in a way never seen before the leg could be fastened with screws directly to the table top and the final result was already in itself a solid structure.
