Artek Chair 69 in Birch with Blue Upholstery by Alvar Aalto

Designed by Alvar Aalto for Artek, Chair 69 is one of the most recognisable classics of Finnish modern design. With its clean lines, rounded seat and signature bent birch L-leg construction, the chair has a timeless appearance that works equally well in dining areas, kitchens and workspaces.

This example features a natural birch frame paired with blue vinyl upholstery, creating a distinctive contrast between the warm wood and deep blue seat. Its simple and functional construction reflects Aalto’s characteristic approach to everyday furniture design.
