Treat yourself to an iconic ORIGINAL work that will always retain its value, passing on to the next generation.
Alvar Aalto (1898 - 1976) is one of Finland's most famous architects and designers. Designed in 1936, the 901 Tea Trolley is a classic of Scandinavian design. It was inspired by the British tea culture, which Aino and Alvar Aalto experienced on their many travels, and by the Japanese woodwork and architecture they admired.
This Trolley features a curved structure made of two loops of glued laminated Solid birch. The oversized wheels, combined with the lightness of Birch, make the Trolley easy to maneuver. Simple and functional, this rolling table is equally at home in the kitchen, dining room or living room. It can be used as a side table and, naturally, for transporting dishes, cheese, desserts, etc.
As early as 1927, in close collaboration with cabinetmaker Otto Korhonen, Aalto explored the possibilities of glued laminated wood - prior to this, tubular steel structures had dominated furniture design. Inspired by the creations of Breuer and Thonet, Aalto finally perfected an innovative process: successive gluing of several thin layers of specially molded Solid wood produces curves of over 90 degrees. The curved glued-laminated wood gives the Base, legs strength and flexibility. And so, following extensive research into the possibilities of wood, the Dresser 901 was born.
All ARTEK bentwood furniture is manufactured in the Turku factory in Finland, using local wood. They combine modern production methods with skilled craftsmanship and carefully selected materials.
