Artek Aalto table 80B, 60 x 100 cm, birch – black linoleum

Artek’s Table 80B, designed by Alvar Aalto in 1933, is a compact and versatile wooden dining table that can also serve as a desk in small spaces. The Aalto table 80B features solid birch legs and edges, and its rectangular tabletop is finished with a soft, matte linoleum, an ideal material for writing desks. Made in Finland.

Aalto tables are built on the clever combination of Alvar Aalto’s iconic L-legs and various tabletops. Aalto first introduced the bent L-leg in 1933, and it quickly became a standard component in his furniture designs. Reflecting on his legacy as a designer and architect, Aalto considered the development of the L-leg as his greatest achievement, even calling this innovative structure the “little sister of the architectonic column”. Thanks to their minimalist charm, Artek tables blend seamlessly with each other and a wide range of chairs, making them a versatile choice for homes, public spaces, and offices alike.
