ViewThe Armchair 42, also known as the 'Small Paimio', is a mid-century modern lounge chair designed by Alvar Aalto in 1932. It features a cantilevered frame crafted from laminated birch and a seat and back made from a single piece of form-pressed plywood with a sleek black lacquer finish. The fluid, curved design avoids straight lines to provide an exceptionally aesthetic and comfortable seating experience. To ensure long-term balance as the wood ages, the armrests are meticulously formed from a single piece and then split.
