Bench 153B Kivet is part of the Artek + Marimekko collection. This limited edition piece brings together Alvar Aalto’s 1945 bench design and Maija Isola’s Kivet (stones) pattern from 1956. The pattern, based on hand-cut circles, was likely inspired by the rough stones surrounding Isola’s atelier home. The Kivet pattern is applied using marquetry on the birch veneer seat.
