the innovative and strong l-leg construction is based on the technique of bending solid wood by alvar aalto and artek since the early 1930's.
artek's l-leg is made from birch wood carefully selected and collected from the finnish forests. 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.
