Chaise 66 de Alvar Aalto

Chair 66 – A Finnish Design Classic by Alvar Aalto**

Alvar Aalto's **Chair 66**, designed in 1935, is an iconic symbol of Finnish modernism and craftsmanship. Aalto, one of Finland’s most influential architects and designers, created this chair as part of his vision to merge aesthetics with functionality. With its clean, minimalist form, **Chair 66** embodies all the hallmarks of Scandinavian design—natural materials, simple lines, and timeless elegance.

Crafted from birch, a material deeply connected to the Finnish landscape, the chair showcases Aalto’s innovative use of bentwood techniques. Its rounded seat and signature L-shaped legs strike the perfect balance between stability and visual lightness. The black finish adds a modern, sophisticated touch, while the natural wear gives the chair an authentic patina and a sense of history.

Today, the chair is produced by Artek, a company founded by Aalto in 1935, continuing its legacy in Finnish design. With carefully selected materials and a timeless aesthetic, Chair 66 has become a piece of art that unites Finnish design tradition with international modernism.
