About the Item
This cabinet is extremely rare and is most definitely sought after by Aalto collectors. With the original stamp, Aalto Design, Artek, this piece is from the 1940s. Although the Aalto's used mainly birch in their furnitures, this cabinet is made from pine. It features 6 spacy drawers and two shelves on the other side. The large knobs of the cabinet add character to the item.
Signs of normal wear 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.

View AllAino Aalto Table and 4 Aalto Stools in Marimekko Synthetic Fabric, Artek 1940s
By Alvar Aalto, Aino Aalto, Huonekalu-Ja Rakennustyötedas Oy, Artek
Located in Helsinki, FI
Simple, elegant, minimalistic Scandinavian design at its best. The patina for this set is quite pleasing to the eye as well, honey like color. Add the Marimekko plastic laminated fabric and you have a new set or master pieces of design. This fabric is quite durable and will stand the test of time.
The legs for both the table and stools can be easily unscrewed, so the whole package will take much less space than otherwise required for shipping.
