Tea Trolley 900

The tea trolley was inspired by British tea culture, with which Aino and Alvar Aalto became familiar during their numerous travels, as well as by Japanese carpentry and architecture they admired. The striking Tea Trolley 900, featuring ceramic tiles and a wicker basket, was first launched internationally at the 1937 Paris World Exposition. This piece of furniture, traditionally functionalist, is adorned with simplified multicultural references. Versatile and full of character, the Tea Trolley 900 is the perfect centerpiece for enjoying anything from breakfast to afternoon tea or cocktails.
