Made in Finland

Artek furniture is made Finland, where Aalto designs have been manufactured since the 1920s.

Created by design visionary Alvar Aalto in 1939, this armchair is affectionately referred to as the Pension Chair because it allows the user to be in a state of “retirement". The cantilevered birch frame, solid birch cross rails and linen webbed seat create a chair made for total comfort and relaxation. Lightweight but constructed with durability in mind, Armchair 400 is a timeless design that is well-suited in any space.

How It's Made

The Making of Alvar Aalto Artek Furniture

About Alvar Aalto

Alvar Aalto is one of the greatest names in modern architecture and design.

Born Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto (February 3, 1898 - May 11, 1976) in Kuortane, Finland, Alvar Aalto was noted for his humanistic approach to modernism. He studied architecture at the Helsinki University of Technology from 1916 to 1921, and returned to Jyväskylä, where he opened his first architectural office in 1923. The following year he married architect Aino Marsio, who would become his partner both in life and work.

About Artek

The name Artek was formed from the words "art" and "technology," which are central concepts to the modernist movement of the 1920's. In 1935, Artek was founded by four young idealists: Alvar Aalto, Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen, and Nils-Gustav Hahl. Their mission statement was "to sell furniture and to promote a modern culture of living by exhibitions and other educational means." Today, Artek still strives to achieve a synthesis of the art and technology and improve everyday life through it's products. Its pieces not only bring modernism to Finland, but transport Alvar Aalto's Nordic principles and style to the entire world.
