Artek Alvar Aalto Armchair 45 - Quilted Leather Upholstery

Originally designed by Alvar Aalto in 1947, Armchair 45 is reintroduced into Artek's collection to bring elegant comfort and warmth to interiors. The chair returns with new, functional features; a raised seat and armrest height, and a decreased seat angle for versatile and optimized use. Armchair 45 is made in Finland out of solid birch and birch veneers, with an open back frame allowing the chair to be lightweight and movable. Use it at a dining table, a desk, or in the living room, as the new Aalto Armchair 45 offers endless opportunities to fit contemporary needs. The birch frame is upholstered in four different colors of quilted leather for elevated comfort, each with various colored frames and armrest forms.

Armrests: The armrest type varies between each chair. See secondary images for different versions. The piped leather or natural rattan winding armrests add further depth and texture. The leather flat wrap provides a smooth and soft touch. The bare birch armrests offer simplicity and clean lines.
