Stunning Paimio chair designed by Alvar Aalto in 1931. The chair's framework is constructed from two loops of laminated birch wood, while the seat is formed by a sheet of plywood bent into graceful scrolls. Named after the Finnish town of Paimio, where Aalto designed a tuberculosis sanatorium and the chair found its place in the patients' lounge. In collaboration with Huonekalu-ja Rakennustyötehdas Oy, Aalto started manufacturing furniture for the Paimio sanatorium, before he founded Artek in 1935 to mass-produce their wooden furniture. This early model was crafted by Huonekalu-ja Rakennustyötehdas Oy in the 1930s and has '2' stamped twice on its underside. The chair has a rich patina and is a genuine collector's piece!
