Though first produced in 1936 the 115 Umbrella Stand carries an air of modernity that makes it perfect for the contemporary homes of some 80 years later. Produced in birch and finished with a natural lacquer and brass tray, the 115 is misleadingly simple, with the refined take on a standard highly appealing. The 115 continues to be made in Finland by Artek, ensuring that a piece made today is as authentic to Aalto's intentions as they were upon initial release.
As one of the great architects and furniture designers of the 20th century, Finnish designer Alvar Aalto breathed life and warmth into modernism, placing emphasis on "organic" geometry; supple, natural materials; and a respect for human feeling.
Alvar Aalto's collection of mid-century furniture and lighting is produced exclusively by Scandinavian brand Artek including the iconic Artek 60 Stool.
