Artek 69 chair wild birch

Artek 69 chair wild birch is part of Artek's Metsä collection launched in 2024. The Metsä collection includes familiar stools, benches, tables and chairs. Normally, the woods used in Artek's products have been carefully selected for appearance reasons, and only individuals that meet strict selection criteria have ended up in the chairs. Because of this, there has been little natural variation in the chairs. These restrictions have not been related to the durability or quality of the wood, but more to the market's perception of aesthetic uniformity. In the furniture made from wild birch, these aesthetic limitations have been left aside and all kinds of birch and their parts have been selected for production - and that is precisely where the beauty of the products of the Metsä collection lies.

In the Artek 69 chair made of wild birch, you can see significant knot points that were previously left out of production, traces left by insects, as well as a darker heartwood and other possible natural color variations. By acting in this way, natural resources can be used more responsibly, and waste cannot be created in the same way. The products of the Metsä collection are the right choice for those who value the sustainable use of natural resources and design. The products of the wild birch Metsä collection have been designed in collaboration with the Italian company Formafantasma.

Artek 69 is one of Artek's most popular chair models. Thanks to its wide and sturdy backrest, the 69 chair is stable and elegantly streamlined. The curved back of the chair designed by Alvar Aalto in 1935 guarantees a pleasant sitting experience. The chair was originally made for the Viipur library, which Alvar Aalto designed after winning an architecture competition.

The 69 chair is suitable for the interior of any room thanks to its lively look. 69 chairs suitable for both working and sitting are available in several beautiful colors, from which it is easy to find the one you like. The most colorful shades come from the Paimio sanatorium designed by Alvar Aalto (1929-1933).

Artek - long-lived classics

Artek was founded in 1935 to sell and market furniture designed by Alvar Aalto . Artek's founders Alvar and Aino Aalto, Nils-Gustav Hahl and Maire Gullichsen published a manifesto drawn up in the spirit of functionalism, according to which Artek's purpose was "to trade in furniture and to promote modern housing culture through exhibitions and other means".

Artek's original values ​​– durability and high quality combined with a clean design language – are still at the core of the company. Artek's powerhouses Alvar and Aino Aalto created their own warm and human style for modern interior design, where nature was a major inspiration. It is the use of natural materials and the tireless search for new technical solutions that have made Artek a company whose values ​​are still relevant today.
