Artek Model 66 Chairs with Reed Upholstery – Alvar Aalto

A pair of vintage Model 66 chairs designed by Alvar Aalto for Artek, featuring original woven reed seats — a rarely seen and highly tactile variant of this iconic form. The clean, curved backrest and solid birch frame showcase Aalto’s signature human-centred modernism and commitment to natural materials.

First introduced in the 1930s, the 66 chair remains one of Aalto’s most enduring seating designs. This pair likely dates from the mid-century period and carries visible traces of use that speak to decades of everyday life and honest material aging.

Beautiful from every angle — and increasingly hard to find in this finish — these chairs work equally well around a dining table or as standalone accent pieces.
