artek's l-leg is made from birch wood carefully selected and collected from the finnish forests. before the raw material goes into production it is left to dry with the help of sun and wind. after cross cutting and sawing off raw material only hi-quality flawless woods with no structural errors are selected.
thin preglued pieces of birch veneer are put in the grooves, enabling the wood to be bent to form a 90° angle with the help of presteaming and microwave heating.
the form pressed leg piece is placed in a microprocessor controlled drying chamber to ensure the correct final moisture degree, assuring the legs long lasting quality.
finally the l-leg is lacquered carefully and is ready for assembly. thanks to this unique production method, the l-leg keeps its shape forever and ages gracefully, lasting from generation to generation.
