Know before you buy
With a diameter of 49.25 inches, this table comfortably seats four people for dining. It can accommodate up to five people for more casual settings.
Yes, the table is crafted from high-quality birch plywood and veneer, designed to withstand the rigors of daily use. While it is a durable piece of furniture, we recommend using coasters and placemats to protect the finish from heat and moisture over time.
No, the Artek Table 91 does not require assembly. It arrives ready to use, ensuring the structural integrity of the signature L-leg attachment is maintained as intended by the manufacturer.
No, the Table 91 is strictly designed for indoor use. Exposure to direct sunlight, humidity, and temperature fluctuations outdoors can damage the birch veneer and the lacquered finish.
The L-leg design is a hallmark of Alvar Aalto’s work and is engineered to be both stable and space-efficient. Because the legs curve outward from the corners, they provide ample clearance, allowing chairs to be tucked in easily without obstruction.
