The Artek Paimio armchair features bent plywood in a fluid shape. Instantly recognisable as one of Alvar Aalto's pieces of design, the 41 Armchair features a highly inviting aesthetic, which is rich with character and acts as both a real showcase for its designer’s artistry and as a fantastic showcase for the art of the craftwork that has gone into its execution.
Initially designed for the Finnish Sanatorium from which it takes its name, the Paimio is available in a pair of iconic colour schemes, making it a piece which has stood the test of time that will continue to be an enduring classic.
As one of the great architects and furniture designers of the 20th century, Finnish designer Alvar Aalto breathed life and warmth into modernism, placing emphasis on "organic" geometry; supple, natural materials; and a respect for human feeling.
Alvar Aalto's collection of mid-century furniture and lighting is produced exclusively by Scandinavian brand Artek including the iconic Artek 60 Stool.
