Aalto's armchair was designed for the Paimio Sanatorium in Paimio, Finland in 1932 and distributed to the public by Artek in 1935. The highly curved seat represents a revolution in the use of plywood for chair designs. This design is a masterpiece of Aalto's oeuvre and has come to represent the quintessential modern Scandinavian chair.
