Artek Dining chairs

Artek dining chairs are made from moulded birch and solid wood in simple shapes, led by the 66 and 69 series. The chairs come in birch, black, white and brighter colours such as green, yellow and orange, and the range also includes Atelier, Domus and Aslak. Choose a chair to match the table or mix two colours.

Artek dining chairs in birch

Most Artek dining chairs follow the same idea: a light wooden frame, a flat seat and a moulded back that supports without extra detail. The Artek 66 chair was designed by Alvar Aalto in 1935. It has a seat and legs in solid birch and a wide moulded backrest fixed with visible bolts, made for kitchens, cafés and lounges as well as the home.

69, Atelier and the others

Artek 69 is the largest series, a stable chair with a slightly rounded seat and a moulded back that gives support during longer meals. It comes in birch, black, white and orange, in combinations such as Birch/Green, Birch/Yellow and Birch/Petroleum, and in wild birch. Atelier has a solid wooden frame and a slightly curved back, and it is suitable for both dining and work areas. 65 and 611 give more variations on the birch chair, and A45 comes in a version with honey stained legs and a red seat.

Finishes

Birch is the natural base, with black, white and laminated birch as calmer alternatives. The 66 also comes with a black linoleum or Zebra seat. Colour and finish choices make it possible to match the chairs to the table, or to mix two colours around the same one.

Around the table

The simple lines fit many types of tables. Combine them with Artek dining tables for a consistent birch look, or place them around a table in another material. For the full selection, see Artek.
