Details

Alvar Aalto’s Model 406, also referred to as the Paimio Chair, was developed in the 1930s by the Finnish architect and designer for the Paimio Sanatorium in Finland. Conceived to support patients in a relaxed, slightly reclined posture to aid breathing, the chair reflects Aalto’s interest in ergonomic, human-centred design.

The piece features a distinctive curved birchwood frame that provides both strength and flexibility. A webbed seat and backrest are upholstered in a durable woven fabric, delivering firm, breathable support while expressing the chair’s structural clarity.

The model remains in production and is widely recognised within modern furniture design.

Dimensions: 60 cm W x 71 cm D x 91 cm H

Condition: Minor wear and scratches to the frame; structurally sound. Webbing has faded from black to a deep blue.
