WOODEN CHAIRS AND STOOLS
WOODEN CHAIRS AND STOOLS
Since time immemorial, natural materials, especially wood, have proven themselves to be an instantly familiar part of human existence. Wooden furniture possesses a natural beauty and a warm and inviting appeal. Like the trees from which they are made, Artek’s products derive their beauty from unique markings and natural quirks. Their ecological nature allows them to develop an attractive patina over time, showing traces of life and use and telling the unique story of each product. The wooden chairs and stools manufactured by Artek comprise design icons designed by Finnish masters Alvar Aalto, Ilmari Tapiovaara and Eero Aarnio, and modern classics by contemporary designer Konstantin Grcic. Artek primarily uses Finnish birch from sustainable forestry in the manufacturing of these products. The particular beauty of Finnish wood derives in part from the slow tree growth characteristic of mixed forests, which renders their trunks particularly dense. Those used by Artek are about eighty years old, making the material of the products manufactured today roughly the same age as the company itself. The light ‘blond’ tone of the wood is influenced by the mineral content and condition of the Nordic soil, and is enhanced by the slow drying of the fallen timber in the open air. Many of Artek’s wooden chairs and stools are based on Alvar Aalto’s L-leg, a solid wood leg bent in a 90° angle, which soon established itself as a versatile standard element of the Artek collection. The majority of Artek’s collection is still produced in the factory near Turku, Finland, where Aalto started experimenting with wood bending in the late 1920s. Artek’s wooden chairs and stools are true classics that have lost nothing of their appeal and relevance over time. They are equally at home in public buildings, cultural institutions and educational facilities as well as in private residential interiors.
