C. 1945 Set of Four Alvar and Aino Aalto for Artek Dining Hallway Arm Chairs Model 54 404 Sale

This is a set of four Model 54 404 Stackable Hallway Armchairs, designed by Aino and Alvar Aalto in Finland in 1932. This design was a padded variant of hallway chair 403, initially designed for use in the Paimio Sanitorium. This set dates to ca. 1945. They feature frames of solid birch, and have padded upholstered seats and backs. The upholstery is done in a light grey-green fabric.

Each chair measures 26 inches deep, 21.25 inches wide, and 30.25 inches high. They have a seat height of 19 inches. We have intentionally left these pieces in their original condition to showcase their history. Upon request, we can have the frames refinished and the upholstery redone. At present, the frames show myriad scrapes and scuffs, and the lacquer finish has darkened. The upholstery has some pulls and stains. Overall, these chairs are in good condition. Please see photos.
