The Artek K65 high chair with its legs is ideal for a desk or bar counter. The chair designed by Alvar Aalto has a low backrest that provides just the right amount of support, a curved footrest and L-legs.
At the end of the 1920s, the architect and designer Alvar Aalto started experimenting with bending wood. Together with the furniture manufacturer Otto Korhonen, Aalto developed a pioneering process, which resulted in the L-leg. The iconic leg is created by cutting slits in a piece of wood below the bending point, to which wooden slats are glued. Aalto called the L-leg your little sister of the architectural column. Long-standing traditions in furniture production were interrupted when Aalto patented the technology in 1933. Durable and solid furniture was now made from warm organic wood material.
