"Objects are made to be completed by the human mind." -Alvar Aalto
Aalto invented a process for bending thick layers of birch to create graceful yet strong and light frames for a number of products including these x800 tables. These tables consist of laminated birch plywood legs with a ash veneer top and feature a unique detailing on the corners. These tables serve as a distinctive addition to any room.
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.
