About the Item
A rare pair of mid-century Aino Aalto club chairs from the 1930s-40s manufactured by Huonekalu- and Rakennustyötehdas for Artek. The chairs are made of oak and feature a beautiful brown natural leather wrap on each arm rest for added comfort and asthetic appeal. The arm chairs were reupholstered (not by us) at some point woth a Josef Frank / Svenskt Tenn style floral fabric. The textile, wood and leather combination looks nice and we chose to leave it as is. A small surface veneer restoration was done on one of the arms (please refer to one of the photos). The chairs are in good vintage condition with tear and wear consistent with age and use.
Aino Aalto (1894–1949) was a trailblazing Finnish architect and designer whose work left an indelible mark on modernist design. Alongside her husband, the famed architect Alvar Aalto, she became a central figure in the functionalist movement, blending practicality with elegant simplicity. Her contributions extended beyond architecture into furniture, glassware, and interior design, where her keen eye for form and function helped define Scandinavian modernism.
Aino co-founded Artek in 1935, a revolutionary design company that promoted avant-garde furniture and homeware. The studio became synonymous with timeless pieces like the curvilinear Aalto Vase (Savoy Vase) and sleek wooden furniture, which remain design icons today. Her own creations, such as the delicate Bölgeblick glass series, showcased her ability to merge beauty with everyday usability.
As one of Finland’s first female architects, Aino broke barriers in a male-dominated profession, leaving a legacy that transcends her collaboration with Alvar. Her work emphasized natural materials, organic shapes, and human-centered design—principles that continue to inspire contemporary Nordic aesthetics. Though her life was cut short at age 54, her influence endures in the enduring appeal of Artek’s designs and the broader canon of modernist architecture.
