Artek DL82 Drop-Leaf Table, Oy Huonekalu- ja Rakennustyötehdas Ab, 1940s/1950s

A practical and timeless classic by Alvar Aalto, the DL82 drop-leaf table for Artek embodies the designer’s signature fusion of functionalism and warmth. This version features a blue linoleum tabletop paired with a solid birch frame, offering a clean, minimal look that suits both vintage and contemporary interiors.

Its clever drop-leaf mechanism allows one side to extend, making it ideal for smaller dining spaces, kitchen corners, or flexible work areas. The signature L-leg construction adds structural elegance and strength with Aalto’s trademark bentwood technique. A perfect everyday table with a strong design pedigree.

Measurements: Width 80cm; Depth 60cm; Height 71.5cm Extended Width 115cm. The table provides a practical surface while keeping its materials, proportions and construction clearly expressed.

Good vintage condition. Light wear to the birch frame and minor surface signs on the linoleum top, consistent with age and use. Drop-leaf mechanism works smoothly. Please review all images for details.
