Alvar Aalto Paimio Armchair.

Aalto's intriguing and most famous chair, the 41 Paimio armchair can be found in numerous museums
including the Museum of Modern Art. The frame is laminated birch bent into a closed curve with solid
birch cross-rails. The seat is molded from one piece of birch plywood and is offered in two high-shine
laminate colors. The springy plywood fixed on a closed frame was Aalto's 1931 brainstorm for making a
wooden chair "soft". Made in Finland by Artek. Ships assembled.
