Folding dining table made of birch wood
The Aalto DL81C folding dining table from Artek , designed by Alvar Aalto in 1933, is a compact and versatile wooden table that can be easily folded out to create extra space when needed. This table is therefore ideal for small dining or work areas. The legs and edges of the table are made of solid birch, while the foldable table top is coated with durable and easy-to-clean high-pressure laminate, making it particularly suitable as a dining table. Made in Finland.
The Aalto tables are characterized by the clever combination of Alvar Aalto's iconic L-legs and different table tops. Aalto first introduced the curved L-leg in 1933 and it quickly became a standard feature of his furniture designs. As an important designer and architect, Aalto considered the development of the L-leg to be one of his greatest achievements, describing it as "the little sister of the architectural column". Thanks to their minimalist charm, the tables from Artek can be seamlessly combined with different chairs, making them a versatile choice for homes, public spaces and offices.
