Artek 153A bench is a light and versatile piece of furniture for home and public spaces. The slatted bench designed by Alvar Aalto in 1945 has been polished to the last detail. The slatted bench works both as a bench and as a platform, on which you can make, for example, beautiful flower arrangements. The airy lattice bench can be placed, for example, in the entrance hall, living room, bedroom or even in dressing rooms.
The seat part of Artek's 153A bench is made of solid birch and the legs of the bench are the familiar L-legs. Architect and designer Alvar Aalto started experimenting with bending wood in the late 1920s. He developed a pioneering process in collaboration with furniture manufacturer Otto Korhonen, which resulted in the L-leg. The innovation meant the interruption of long-standing traditions in furniture production. Aalto patented the technology in 1933. Durable and solid furniture could now be made from organic wood material.
