About This Piece

Vintage Design

The exceptionally rare sofa, model A579, was designed by Alvar Aalto and manufactured by Artek in the 1950s.

It has been completely refurbished. The belts, springs and upholstery of the seat have been completely renewed true to the original. The original springs and the upholstery of the back could be retained but were also reworked. The sofa was then reupholstered with a Hallingdal 0750 by Kvadrat.

The original purchase receipt for the sofa is available.
