Aalto originally designed this now
classic easy chair, utilising moulded laminated wood, between the years
1930-1932 for the Paimio Sanatorium - a building which is considered Aalto's most significant early building. Paimio is also the starting point for Aalto as a furniture designer.
The radical sculptural form of the gently curving seat moulded from a single piece of springy plywood was designed for the patients respiratory comfort.
