Alvar Aalto, 900 Tea Trolley
This pre-loved Alvar Aalto Tea Trolley is a modernist piece from the 30s. The Trolley was designed in 1936 by Finnish designer Alvar Aalto, who is considered as one of the founding fathers of modern design. The bentwood solution of L shaped leg is popular among all of Aalto's pieces. Not only was Aalto concerned with formal design but also in the spirit of beautiful materials and the simple forms of modernism. Aalto was a fan of artists such as Jean Arp and Brancusi. This Tea Trolley is in lovely used condition, the black laminate and the polyurethane wheel are in good condition. Great as a bar cart, side table or entryway console.
