About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
Beautiful original Scandinavian cabinet by Artek, designed by Alvar Aalto. Not a standard catalogue model like 112B (wall shelf) or 111, but a robust, freestanding variant from the 1960s series of consoles/lowboards/shelf units. This type of furniture was often made for specific interiors or as a variation on the standard range. It is authentic Artek/Aalto style from the late mid-century period: functional, minimalist, and with that warm honey patina that birch wood acquires after 50+ years.
The cabinet is made of birch wood and has a warm, natural appearance. The design consists of three levels, supported by the characteristic curved uprights. Two shelves are height-adjustable, making the cabinet flexible in use.
Stamps are present on the underside confirming the provenance (Svenska Artek / Bröderna Sjöberg, production January 11, 1967), including the production date. The furniture is in good, solid vintage condition with a beautiful authentic patina. There are signs of use present, such as light scratches and discoloration, consistent with its age.
A functional and historically interesting design piece that is both decorative and practical. Perfect for books, objects, or as a stylish side table in a Scandinavian or mid-century interior.
