A true collector's piece, this miniature brings a landmark of modern furniture design into your home or office in a refined, desk-sized format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAalto designed the original armchair for the sanatorium in Paimio, Finland, a building he planned and furnished himself. In his work, he combined Scandinavian craft traditions and a deep connection to nature with the functional ideas of the Bauhaus. This approach sparked an exchange of ideas with Marcel Breuer and later influenced the work of both designers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe construction of the Paimio armchair is simple yet remarkably effective. The curled ends of the seat and backrest also act as springs, delivering a level of seating comfort that had barely been achieved with wooden furniture before. Made from just a few easy-to-assemble elements, the design was also ideally suited to serial production, which makes the chair a milestone of industrial furniture manufacturing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe miniature captures these qualities in precise detail. It is made with a \u003cb\u003eplywood seat\u003c\/b\u003e and a \u003cb\u003elaminated, lacquered frame\u003c\/b\u003e, and is produced at a scale of \u003cb\u003e1:6\u003c\/b\u003e. The full-size model is manufactured by Artek, the company founded around Aalto's designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the Vitra Miniatures Collection, this armchair is a thoughtful gift for design enthusiasts, architects and lovers of Scandinavian modernism, and a quiet tribute to a timeless classic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vitra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55450774536535,"sku":null,"price":289.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/2646\/3734\/files\/miniatur-art-41-paimio-920165.jpg?v=1792157678","url":"https:\/\/lamptwist.com\/products\/vitra-miniatures-collection-art-41-paimio-armchair","provider":"LampTwist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
