Artek Chair 69 - Birch with Red Seat (2021)

Chair 69 is one of Alvar Aalto’s best known chair designs. It was first introduced in 1935 and has stayed in production ever since, which says a lot about how well the design works.

This chair has a natural birch frame and a red lacquered seat, which gives it a nice bit of contrast without feeling too bold. The bent birch legs are a classic Aalto detail and make the chair feel light, while still being sturdy and practical for everyday use. It works well around a dining table, at a desk, or as an extra chair in different spaces.
