Eero Aarnio Set of 4 “Ruuto” Birchwood Dining Chairs for Asko, 1990s
Rare set of four dining chairs designed by Finnish designer Eero Aarnio and produced by Asko. Known as the “Ruuto” chair, these feature a distinctive square-grid backrest crafted in solid birch with a warm natural finish. Aarnio’s playful yet functional design language is evident here—sculptural, minimal, and highly architectural.
All four chairs are in excellent vintage condition, with only minor signs of wear consistent with age. The natural birch patina adds warmth and character, making them ideal for both modern and Scandinavian interiors.
Dimensions: L:16.5 | W:17.5 | H:31.5 | SH:18
Local Delivery:
Most local deliveries within the East Bay and San Francisco can be arranged for $79–$100 and are typically completed within a few days. This rate doesn’t apply to all items and does not cover areas like San Jose, Santa Rosa, Napa Area, or Sacramento, which may incur higher fees. If you're unsure, please reach out before purchasing.
Los Angeles Delivery: Twice a month, we travel to Los Angeles and can offer delivery for a flat rate of $199. This service applies to locations near Downtown Los Angeles and Santa Monica only. For customers who prefer to pick up, we can bring your order to a Downtown LA meeting point for $99, with pickup arranged by the customer. Please contact us in advance to confirm availability and exact logistics.
Shipping (Outside the Bay Area):
Effective immediately, we are no longer offering shipping services outside of the Bay Area. Due to several unfortunate incidents beyond our control, we have incurred significant losses and customer service issues related to third-party freight carriers handling large furniture.
For all out-of-area orders, shipping must now be arranged directly by the customer through a carrier of their choice, such as U-Ship. Full payment must be completed by wire transfer before any item is released for pickup. The customer is fully responsible for coordinating pickup, packing, shipping, and insurance.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. This decision was not made lightly, but several issues and financial losses have made it necessary in order for us to continue operating responsibly and fairly.
