Artek Aalto armchair 402, birch – black Hallingdal 190

Designed by Alvar Aalto for Artek, the Armchair 402, also known as Atelje, has a more lightweight structure than the famous Tank chair. Moreover, the seat height is five centimeters higher than in the Tank chair, giving it a larger use range. The flexible wood frame makes the armchair extremely comfortable. The armchair 402 is one of those pieces of furniture introduced by Alvar Aalto in 1933 in London at the Fortnum & Mason department store’s exhibition.
