Hello trolley

Helsinki's legendary Savoy restaurant showcases Alvar and Aino Aalto's original 1936 bentwood birch bar trolleys, now serving guests under chef-patron Helena Puolakka's meticulous revival.

This bentwood birch bar trolley from 1936 is a key part of Alvar and Aino Aalto’s original design for the recently revamped Savoy restaurant in Helsinki. There are now two of the original trolleys under chef-patron Helena Puolakka’s roof. The first can be found beside barman Aleksi Mehtonen and the second is wheeled out to tables – a finishing touch to the spot-on service.
