About the Item

Effortlessly blending form and function, this extendable table by Aino Aalto epitomizes the quiet brilliance of Scandinavian modernism. Crafted from warm birch and oak, its clean lines and organic materials reflect the Aaltos’ signature design philosophy. The table’s discreet 41cm leaf tucks neatly beneath the surface when not in use, seamlessly extending the length to approximately 150cm—ideal for intimate dinners or daily use in compact spaces. Designed with practicality in mind, the legs can be unscrewed for affordable and efficient shipping, ensuring the piece arrives with ease. Offered in good vintage condition, its birch and oak surfaces bear the soft patina of age, adding character without compromising structural integrity. A rare piece for collectors who appreciate design history, as well as those seeking a functional work of art for modern living. Aino Aalto (1894–1949) was a foundational figure in Finnish modernism, yet her contributions have often been overshadowed. As a co-founder of Artek and a key collaborator in projects frequently attributed solely to her husband Alvar, she played a pivotal role in shaping 20th-century design. This table, with its understated intelligence and timeless appeal, stands as a testament to her legacy—where beauty arises from purpose, and simplicity conceals thoughtful innovation.
