Terrace chair Alvar Aalto Museum collection / loaned by Oy Artek Ab Designer: Alvar Aalto Designed: 1955 Maker: Oy Huonekalu- ja Rakennustyötehdas Ab At the H55 housing exhibition held at Helsingborg in Sweden in 1955, Artek had its own stand, which naturally was furnished with Aalto's designs. The show flat was based on the flats in the block that Aalto was building at the Hansaviertel in Berlin. A special chair was designed specifically for the terrace and when the apartment was exhibited as a fully furnished show flat at the Interbau exhibition in Berlin, the same chair was again on show there. This is the only example of the chair that was ever made. |
