Aalto tea trolley 901, honey stained birch - black handle

Artek's tea trolley 901, designed by Alvar Aalto in 1936, is the simplest and most graceful tea trolley among the ones created by Aalto. The expression of the tea trolley 901 has references to British tea culture as well as Japanese woodwork and architecture. 

In this special honey-stained edition, the birch wood elements of the 901 trolley are finished in a warm, golden tone that highlights both the curved frame and the veneered tops. The honey hue is complemented by a contrasting black handle and white wheels. Counted among Aalto's iconic works, the tea trolley 901 is a practical and elegant side table for the living room – ideal for serving tea, coffee or other refreshments.

Alvar Aalto

Since its founding in 1935, Finnish furniture manufacturer Artek has stood at the intersection of Nordic design, architecture and art. By doing so, Artek has elevated Finnish design, along with Aino and Alvar Aalto's furniture, to global recognition. Artek’s furniture and lighting are cornerstones of Finnish design, gracing numerous homes and public spaces worldwide. Even today, most of Artek's wooden furniture is crafted in Finland.
