Early production, model 406 easy chair, by Alvar Aalto for Artek, Hedemora, ca 1950. Frame of steam bent birch and later upholstery in hemp webbing commissioned by the original owner. It has a very special provenance. This single owner example was in the collection of Ernst Sundh and his family, the founder & owner of the Artek factory in Hedemora, Sweden. The Hedemora factory took over all production for Artek between 1946-1956 after World War II due to the lack of material in Finland while rebuilding the country after that dramatic event. Very good condition with light ware consistent with age and use.
