Artek benches in birch

Bench 153 was designed by Alvar Aalto in 1945. It combines laminated birch plywood with a seat in solid birch, and vertical recesses in the seat keep it light and easy to move. It works in public spaces as well as in private outdoor spaces. It comes in size A at L112.5 cm and size W at L72.5 cm, in birch, black lacquered birch and white lacquered birch.

153A and 168B

Artek 153 is the original, and the 153A comes in clear lacquered birch, white lacquered birch and wild birch, with the characteristic L-shaped legs in moulded birch. The 168B bench is 150x35 and has a moulded birch construction with rounded edges and a calm shape. It is available in birch, black, white, honey lacquered, and black with Zebra upholstery.

Kiki

The Kiki bench in Zebra is a more upholstered alternative, with the Artek Zebra textile that has been part of the brand since the 1930s.

In the home

Benches work in an entrance, at the end of a bed or along a dining table as a flexible extra seat. Combine them with Artek stools and Artek dining chairs, or see all of Artek.
