    Marta Blomstedt Hotel Aulanko Wing Chair, 1939. This iconic wing chair was designed by Finnish architect Marta Blomstedt for the foyer of the Hotel Aulanko in Hameenlinna, Finland. Around 20 chairs were made for the Hotel itself with tubular steel runner legs. This version of the chair with the spherical, stained elm wood feet is an early production and was subsequently produced for local retailers. It draws inspiration by Danish designer Flemming Lassen's genre-defining 'Tired Man' chair from 1935. This is the larger of the 2 Hotel Aulanko versions that were made and is slightly taller and wider than the other version. This example has been reupholstered in New Zealand sheepskin at our workshop in London. _________________ Märta Blomstedt (1899-1982) was an architect and one of the driving forces of the Finnish functionalism...
