The fan leg coffee table is a classic modernist piece of furniture designed by finnish architect and designer alvar aalto in the 1960s. The tops of the feet ending in the shape of a fan, made from solid birch, give it a unique and elegant appearance. This is an antique edition of the table: its simple and functional design is typical of aalto's approach to furniture, which emphasized the use of natural materials and practicality. The tabletop, which is also made of birch, has a subtle curvature that follows the shape of the legs and adds to the overall organic shape of the table. Edition: artek circa 1970.
