pair of model 403 'hallway' chairs by alvar aalto for artek, 1940s

£2,680.00

the model 403 chair was designed by alvar aalto for the hallways of the paimio sanatorium in 1932. made from bent birch plywood with solid birch armrests, the chairs are lightweight and stackable.

both chairs have a nice worn finish that reflects their age, with a rich colour and plenty of character. there is some evidence of earlier veneer cracking to the curved seat section of one chair, which appears to have been stabilised at some point. this does not affect strength or usability, and both chairs remain structurally sound and sturdy.

the chairs can be sold separately.
