About the Item

Aino Aalto cabinet model 217, manufactured by Oy Huonekalu-ja Rakennustyötehdas Ab in the 1950s. The outer part is birch and the doors are teak, which the Aaltos did every now and then with their furnitures. The cabinet is in great condition with a nice patina and only minor insignificant scratches here and there. This functional yet stylish cabinet fits into any interior with it's simple design. It can be used as a sidetable, bedroom/living room cabinet, or it can be paired with a desktop and used in an office. Aino Aalto (1894-1949) was one of the most distinguished and innovative designers in 20th century Finland, yet her work is often overlooked. Aino was instrumental in creating many of the iconic furniture designs and architectural projects which were often completely attributed to her husband Alvar Aalto. She was also one of the founding members of the design company Artek. In reality the two of them had a very dynamic relationship that significantly influenced 20th century design in Finland.
