Alvar Aalto for Artek Dining Room Set Model 81B Table & Set of 4 Model 65 Chairs

An authentic Finnish modern dining set designed by Alvar Aalto and produced by Artek, consisting of the Model 81B dining table and four Model 65 chairs. Crafted in laminated birch, the set reflects Aalto’s human-centered approach to design, combining structural innovation with warmth and everyday function.

The Model 81B table features Aalto’s signature L-leg construction, providing excellent stability while keeping the structure visually light. Its compact proportions make it well suited for smaller dining spaces, kitchens, or studio interiors without compromising usability.

The Model 65 chairs are among Aalto’s most enduring designs. Their molded plywood seats and softly curved backrests balance comfort with clarity of form, creating a cohesive and timeless dining ensemble firmly rooted in Nordic modernism.

Both the Model 81B table and Model 65 chairs were originally designed by Alvar Aalto in 1935, with this set produced later in the 1970s–80s as part of Artek’s ongoing production of these classic designs.

This is an original, matching set, preserved in largely untouched condition.
