Designed by Aino Aalto
Composed of a tubular steel frame and a birch plywood top, Side Table 606 can be pulled tight to armchairs, sofas, and beds thanks to its three-quarter-moon base.
Lightweight and versatile, it is at home in a wide range of settings. Designed by Aino Aalto during the period the Aaltos were working on the Paimio Sanatorium project in Finland, this side table was originally used as a stool for changing shoes.
DESIGNER
AINO AALTO
The aesthetic visionary
Aino Aalto (1894-1949) was an architect, designer, and one of Artek’s founding figures.
Upon graduating in 1920, Aino Marsio, as she was then known, started her professional career working for architect Oiva Kallio in Helsinki.
In 1924, she moved to Alvar Aalto’s office; six months later, they married. Aino and Alvar came to work a great deal together, and their creative partnership was marked by absolute equality. Projects the Aaltos cooperated on include the world famous Villa Mairea in Noormarkku, the Paimio Sanatorium, and the Savoy Restaurant in Helsinki.
