The 26 armchair, designed by Alvar Aalto in 1932 — a rare design that saw only a short production run of roughly 60 chairs in the 1930s before being reintroduced by Artek in later, limited runs. Matt black tubular steel frame with a black lacquered, pressed birch plywood seat and back, the cut-out armrests a distinctive detail. "Artek, Design Alvar Aalto, Made in Finland 2014" label to the underside.
