Table model 70 designed by Alvar Aalto for G. A. Berg
Sweden, 1930s
Birch and lacquer.The Table, model 70, designed by Alvar Aalto for G. A. Berg in the 1930s, is a prime example of Aalto’s innovative approach to furniture design. Crafted from birch with a lacquered finish, the table combines functional simplicity with the organic beauty of natural materials. Its elegant round top and lower shelf provide both utility and aesthetic charm, while the bentwood legs, a hallmark of Aalto's work, contribute to its clean and modern profile.
Alvar Aalto’s collaboration with G. A. Berg, a Swedish furniture manufacturer, was an important chapter in his design career, marking his entry into Scandinavian modernism during the 1930s. Aalto created a range of innovative furniture for G. A. Berg that highlighted his pioneering approach to bentwood techniques, functional simplicity, and a deep respect for natural materials. This partnership also contributed to the spread of Aalto’s designs beyond Finland, as G. A. Berg’s manufacturing capabilities made his work more accessible across Scandinavia and Europe. Pieces from this collaboration, such as Model 70 tables and early bentwood chairs, are now highly collectible, representing the evolution of modern furniture design during a pivotal era for Aalto’s career.
