One of the most beautiful design armchairs in the world: Paimio armchair Artek
For many design connoisseurs, the Paimio armchair by Artek is the king among the armchairs of the world. Designed in 1931 for a Finnish sanatorium, Paimio is more a work of art than a simple seat. The ingenious Finnish designer Alvar Aalto outdid himself with armchair 41. With his technique of curved wood, Aalto is considered a pioneer for furniture made of one piece. The curved forms lend the armchair something mundane, the material wood is warm, nestles against the body, has something human about it. This was precisely the intention of the exceptional Finnish designer, who achieved world fame early on. The Aalto lounge chair 41 Paimio is available in black and white and is an enrichment everywhere in your home or office. Whether in the study, living room or entrance area, with this armchair you celebrate a design that is considered unique in the world.
Ingenious pioneer in furniture design: architect and designer Alvar Aalto
Alvar Aalto is considered to be one of the best designers and architects worldwide. Already in the 1930s, the Finn amazed with constructions that are still indispensable in the furniture industry. Aalto is also the pioneer par excellence in laminated wood processing. Influenced by the German Bauhaus, he experimented with this material since the end of the 1920s and, together with his wife Aino Aalto, created numerous pieces of furniture that combined modern forms with natural materials. His architectural masterpieces include the Paimio Clinic in Turku (now a World Heritage Site), the library in Viipuri (in what is now Russia) and the Finnish pavilion at the 1939 New York World's Fair.
Artek - always modern
Artek was founded in Helsinki in 1935 by four young idealists: Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen and Nils-Gustav Hahl. With their designs, they wanted to promote a modern culture of living. The radical spirit of its founders still lives in Artek today and so the company produces furniture from the world of modern design that stands at the interface of design, architecture and art. They are characterised by clarity, functionality and poetic simplicity.
