Price € 4.176,00
The 901 Tea Trolley by Alvar Aalto, produced by Artek since 1936, is the original declination of a typical English model filtered through the Scandinavian grace that hinges on the use of simplified shapes and natural materials. The great harmony of shapes makes it one of the most fascinating and current creations in all of Aalto's work, as well as probably the most famous tea trolley in the entire history of design. The curved wooden profiles support two large shelves and connect to the two large circular wheels, also in wood, which, despite their formal cleanliness, also take on great decorative value. In 1937 Aalto designed a variant of this model, the 900 trolley, initially conceived for the 1937 Paris International Exhibition. This version differs in the presence of a single upper support surface, with more restricted proportions, to which accompanies a charming rattan basket.

A pearl of Finnish design, Artek brings together in its catalog many of the most important furnishings produced in this country. The name of Artek is inextricably linked to that of its founder, the legendary Alvar Aalto, who left an indelible mark on the brand's production and more generally on all Scandinavian design. His peculiar interpretation of modernism, close to the shapes and colors of nature, permeates all Artek collections and is also found in the works of designers who have given shape to the brand after him. The curved wood, often in light colors, replaces the cold tubular steel and creates harmonious and relaxing atmospheres, unmistakably Nordic.Read more
Designed by
Alvar Aalto
Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) is a true legend of Finnish architecture and design and can rightly be considered the founding father of the Scandinavian path to Modernism, richer in warmth and closer to nature than the original model. Where Le Corbusier and Marcel Breuer used a cold material such as tubular steel, Aalto introduces curved plywood, in whose use he was a pioneer and master. Another material much loved by him for its natural characteristics was glass, folded in bold and sinuous curves in his creations for Iittala. His most prolific period was the 1930s, to which many of his most famous architectural projects date back, such as the Viipuri library, the Paimio sanatorium or the famous Villa Mairea in Noormarkku. In 1935 he founded the Artek company together with his wife Aino Marsio, his long-time collaborator, and other partners. The brand was dedicated to the mass production of the furniture and lamps he conceived and will meet an incredible worldwide success, which lasts until today.Read more
