Finnish Designer, Alvar Aalto, Model 406 Lounge Chair (2 Available)
Description: Created by design visionary Alvar Aalto in 1939, this armchair is affectionately referred to as the Pension Chair because it allows the user to be in a state of “retirement". The cantilevered birch frame, solid birch cross rails and linen webbed seat create a chair made for total comfort and relaxation. Lightweight but constructed with durability in mind.
Alvar Aalto is one of the greatest names in modern architecture and design.
Born Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto (February 3, 1898 - May 11, 1976) in Kuortane, Finland, Alvar Aalto was noted for his humanistic approach to modernism. He studied architecture at the Helsinki University of Technology from 1916 to 1921, and returned to Jyväskylä, where he opened his first architectural office in 1923.
