Artek Chair 611
Design Alvar Aalto, 1929
Bent birch plywood, linen webbing
Made in Finland by Artek
"God created paper for the purpose of drawing architecture on it. Everything else is at least for me an abuse of paper." -Alvar Aalto
The elegant chair 611 is stackable and features a birch plywood frame with seat and back upholstered in linen webbing. Aalto chose to use native birch for its natural feel and insulating properties.
Alvar Aalto was a highly talented architect and an eager spokesman for the international modernist movement. Aalto's designs were innovative and radical and became known for his experimental approach to bending wood, which greatly influenced American designers Charles & Ray Eames and Finnish-born Eero Saarinen. His style became known as humanist modernism. Alvar Aalto's dialogue with nature, architecture, design and the human being has become a living legacy.
