alvar aalto armchair 403

"Objects are made to be completed by the human mind." -Alvar Aalto

This sculptural, stackable chair seems to test the limits of bent plywood manufacturing. The chair's framework consists of birch wood legs, between which rides the seat-a thin sheet of plywood slightly curved at both top and bottom. A chair with great design, elegant style and fun colors perfect for any space, public or private.

Alvar Aalto was a highly talented architect and an eager spokesman for the international modernist movement. Aalto's designs were innovative and radical and became known for his experimental approach to bending wood, which greatly influenced American designers Charles & Ray Eames and Finnish-born Eero Saarinen. His style became known as humanist modernism. Alvar Aalto's dialogue with nature, architecture, design and the human being has become a living legacy.

Armchair 403 features natural lacquered birch framework, the molded birch plywood seat is available lacquered white or black. Stacks 4 chairs high.
