Birch and Brass, Considered in Every Detail

Unique in the Artek collection, the 115 Umbrella Stand brings birch and brass together in a structure of considered craft. Three solid birch pillars are united by two hand-bent lamella loops - each requiring the strength of two people to form, and finished with a single seam. A brass tray sits within the triangular base to catch rainwater; over time, it will develop a patina entirely its own.

The lamella bending technique is the same process Aalto pioneered for the L-leg - wood bent without splitting, held in a curve by its own tension. Here it is applied at a smaller scale, producing loops that are structurally integral rather than decorative. The brass tray is not lacquered, so it will age with use - darkening and marking in ways that make each piece distinct over time.
