Paimio Chair (Armchair 41)
Product

Armchair designed by Alvar Aalto in 1932 for the Paimio Sanatorium, a tuberculosis hospital in Finland. A single scrolled sheet of bent plywood forms the seat and back, suspended between closed loops of laminated wood. The angle of the back was chosen to help patients breathe easily. Artek has produced it as Armchair 41.
