Alvar's heritage
Founded by iconic designer Alvar Aalto and friends in 1935, the Finnish furniture company Artek continues to produce marvellously modern furniture. In a groundbreaking attempt to banish cane furniture's grandmotherly image, this fantastically simple Bambu chair (and accompanying tables) by Henrik Tjaerby exploits bamboo’s tensile strength, bending it in characteristic Aalto style to produce elegant furniture with a utilitarian feel. £250 from twentytwentyone.
