Artek 45 is an armchair originally designed by Alvar Aalto in 1947. Artek 45 was once in production and now it has been added to the selection again. Thanks to its size, the refined 45 is a versatile piece of furniture that is suitable as a dining chair, an office chair next to a desk, and in various conference and meeting rooms. The armchair can also be considered one of the designer's favorite chairs, because in numerous archive photos Alvar Aalto is seen sitting in the leather-upholstered 45 armchair.
In the line of 45 armchairs, Aalto's characteristic design and materials stand out, without forgetting subtle details. The armchair can be modified to meet your own needs in the best possible way. In addition to the wooden surface, the armrests of the wooden-framed chair are also available with rattan threads, leather threads or a uniform leather cover. The seat part, on the other hand, is made from either a saddle belt or leather quilted into a square. You can choose either traditional lacquered birch, black, honey stain or walnut stain as the color of the wooden frame.
Artek 45 armchairs manufactured in Finland use domestic birch - both solid birch and birch veneer. The chair's open frame structure makes the chair light and airy. The last time 45 armchairs were produced in 2015. Now, when making a comeback, the dimensions of the chair were fine-tuned to better meet today's needs. In connection with the update, the height of the armrest and seat has been slightly increased and the seat angle has been changed to a more upright position. Thanks to these changes, the chair is also perfectly suitable for dining and conference tables.
