SPECIAL NOTE
Originally created for the Paimio Sanatorium in Finland in the 1931, the table reflects Aalto's commitment to human-centered design and his pioneering work with bentwood techniques. The upturned edges of the shelves not only contribute to the table's distinctive aesthetic but also serve a practical purpose by keeping items securely in place. This design showcases Aalto's signature fluid curves and his mastery in manipulating wood to achieve both strength and visual lightness.
