{"product_id":"artek-stuhl-66","title":"Artek - Chair 66","description":"\u003ch2\u003e Aalto Chair Made of Birch Wood\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nAlvar Aalto is considered one of the most important Scandinavian designers and architects of the 20. century. He designed his chair, numbered 66 , in 193 5. In the same year, Aalto founded the company Artek together with his wife Aino and two designer friends; the company still produces the chair today.\r\nInfluenced by the German Bauhaus movement, Alvar Aalto began experimenting with plywood in 1927. Natural materials and organic forms became a hallmark of his designs. This is also evident in the 66 chair, which is made entirely of birch wood and features numerous curves and rounded surfaces.\u003ch3\u003e\r\nInnovative, Unmatched Stability\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nThe seat of the 66 chair is supported by four legs that are attached to the underside of the seat without a frame or other supports. The bending of wood required for this was a technical innovation at the time the chair was created—a technique Aalto had been experimenting with alongside Otto Korhonen since 1929. The resulting L-shape of the chair legs still guarantees unmatched stability today.\r\n\u003ch3\u003eOrganically Curved Designs\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nThe flat backrest of the “ 66 ” chair is attached to the two rear legs. Here, too, rounded forms define the chair’s appearance. Organic and curved wooden designs, as seen in the “ 66 ” chair, are a hallmark of Alvar Aalto. In doing so, he deliberately rejected the cold, machine-like aesthetics and artificial materials of Modernism. Artek ’s “ 66 ” chair is available in various colors and also in an upholstered version. The chair is delivered unassembled.","brand":"Artek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57394941919576,"sku":"115526","price":468.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/1760\/5208\/files\/Artek-Stuhl-66-Birkenfurnier.jpg?v=1780054130","url":"https:\/\/www.connox.com\/products\/artek-chair-66","provider":"Connox","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
