The Armchair 41 "Paimio" is a revolutionary lounge chair designed by Alvar Aalto in 1932. Originally created for a tuberculosis sanatorium in Paimio, Finland, this masterpiece combines a light, organic form with a traditional club chair outline. The seat is suspended and fixed to the frame at only four points, providing a unique sense of elasticity and a floating appearance. To ensure lasting balance as the wood ages, the armrests are crafted from a single piece of wood that is subsequently split in half. This version features a striking black lacquer finish on the seat and backrest, contrasted by a natural wood lamella frame.
