Cabinet 250
by Alvar Aalto from Artek
cabinet 250
Design Alvar & Aino Aalto, 1936
Birch veneer, solid birch
Made in Finland by Artek
Cabinet 250, often referred to as the "Cocktail Cabinet", returns to the standard Artek collection. Simple in form and celebratory in function, its understatedly beautiful exterior means it works as a stand-alone centerpiece for living rooms and dining areas, perhaps to house special tableware and refreshments.
While Cabinet 250 is credited to Alvar Aalto owing to the inclusion of the L-leg, it is a furniture piece that has the spirit of Aino Aalto running through it, as archival documents show that she was the first to attach a cabinet body to the L-leg design.
Its relatively compact size and well-proportioned interior also makes it an attractive and effective storage unit for more everyday items such as bed linen and clothing, fulfilling Aino Aalto's belief that no object or function is undeserving of aesthetic beauty.
The cabinet comes in a warm honey-stained birch and includes a matching key to lock the cabinet.
