Chair by famus architect and furniture designer Alvar Alto(1898-1976)
Aalto's intriguing and most famous chair, the 41 Paimio armchair can be found in numerous museums including the Museum of Modern Art. The laminated birch frame is bent into a unique closed curve supported by solid birch cross-rails. The seat is molded from one piece of birch plywood and is offered in two high-shine laminate colors. The idea of fixing plywood onto a closed frame was Aalto's 1931 brainstorm for making a wooden chair "soft" and as a result this wooden chair has a springy quality.
Made in Finland each one was made by hand. but now days u can find replica of them for cheaper price .Is one of the most comfortable chairs ever made. it comes in variacion of colors but the originaly one was made with white seating and natural wood color frame.
Armchair 41 is one of the most photographed chairs of all time (according to international museums).
