Alvar Aalto Armchair Model 34, Finmar, 1st Production 1933
About the Item
This Alvar Aalto Armchair Model 34 is a timeless piece of Finnish design, created in 1933 and showcasing the elegance and innovation that made Aalto a key figure in the modernist movement. With its sleek, organic lines and thoughtful construction, this chair combines both form and function in the most graceful way.
The armchair is crafted with bent laminated birch, and is upholstered in Eleanor Pritchard's Signal fabric. Its gently curved arms and ergonomic form offer exceptional comfort, while the minimalist design allows it to seamlessly integrate into a variety of interiors, from traditional to contemporary spaces.
This piece is a 1930s chair and retains its original Finmar label dating the chair to between 1933-38.
The piece is in very good vintage condition. The frame has age related patina, and does have small marks, dent and general signs of age but nothing that detracts. The chair has not been used since being upholstered.

Model 31 Armchair Alvar Aalto, Finland, 1930s
By Alvar Aalto
Located in London, GB
A model 31 armchair designed by one of Finland's most prestigious Modernist designers and architects, Alvar Aalto.
The model 31 was designed by Aalto during the 1930s whilst he was working alongside his wife and partner, Aino Aalto, on the Paimio Sanitorium. Aalto won the commission for the tuberculosis hospital in 1929, and over 4 years built a gesamtkunstwerk, "total work of art", dedicated to physical and mental wellness in every capacity possible. Aalto described the sanatorium itself as a "medical instrument", prioritising ventilation and heliotherapy (sun exposure), with furniture functioning a core part of this finely tuned instrument.
The low seat and gently reclining form of the model 31 is indicative of the environment of restfullness which Aino and Aalto sought to construct at Paimio. Much like the eponymous "Paimio Chair", the most recognised design from the project, the model 31 shares the scroll-like expression created by the continuous seat and back. However, unlike the "Paimio Chair" the model 31 has a cantilevered construction created by the sweeping curves of the laminated birch frame, inspired by the original "Freischwinger" by Mart Stam from 1926.
This particular armchair was once owned by British artist and designer, Max Clendinning, and his partner Ralph Adron...
