Artek 81C Table

Birch veneer offers a warm, natural wood grain that develops a unique patina over time. Linoleum provides a soft, matte finish that is tactile and naturally anti-static, while high-pressure laminate is the most durable option, offering a smooth, hard-wearing surface ideal for high-traffic use.

With its 75 cm by 75 cm footprint, the 81C is perfectly sized for compact dining areas or breakfast nooks. Its clean, rectangular design allows it to be pushed against a wall or paired with other tables if you need to expand your seating capacity later.

Absolutely. The 74 cm height is standard for a desk, and the 75 cm square surface provides ample room for a laptop and essential stationery. Its minimalist aesthetic also makes it a versatile choice that integrates easily into various interior styles.
