In 2023, the 90th anniversary of Paimio Sanatorium will be celebrated. In honor of the anniversary, Artek launched festive versions of well-known products, which are available in limited quantities. One of the products that received a special batch is the 606 side table, which you can enjoy for a while not only in black but also in gray and mint green. The Artek 606 side table was originally designed for the lobby of the Paimio sanatorium as a light stool that could be used as an aid in putting on shoes. For this reason, a notch was formed on the front of the furniture. The colors of the anniversary year are taken from the sanatorium's interior: mint green was used in the ceilings of the patient rooms and reading rooms, and light gray was used in the metal parts of the stair railings.
Artek 606 Side table can be placed near a sofa or an armchair thanks to the asymmetric shape of the base. Aino Aalto designed the side table in 1932. At the same time, Aalto was working at Paimio Sanatorium together with her husband. The original purpose of the Artek 606 side table was a footwear changing stool. An E60 or 60 stool can conveniently fit under the Artek 606 side table, so you can create a timeless table set.
