Artek Alvar Aalto Drop-Leaf Table DL81C in Red Linoleum

A vintage Artek DL81C drop-leaf table designed by Alvar Aalto, featuring a birch frame and a warm red linoleum tabletop. Designed as part of Aalto’s versatile table family, the DL81C combines his characteristic bent birch legs with a practical folding extension that allows the table to adapt easily to different spaces and uses.

With the leaf folded down, the table has a compact footprint that works particularly well in smaller interiors. When opened, the additional surface makes it suitable as a dining table, kitchen table or workspace. The red linoleum gives this example a distinctive character and pairs beautifully with the warm tone and natural patina of the birch frame.
