About the Item

This pair of Finnish armchairs from the 1950s blends functionality with quiet elegance. Crafted in birch wood, the frames feature softened edges and an open-backed design that emphasizes form without unnecessary ornamentation. Sculptural armrests extend the profile with gentle curves, adding both comfort and visual rhythm. Strong references to the work of Alvar Aalto in these beautiful armchairs. Upholstered in a warm brown velvet fabric, the seats and backs complement the natural grain and tone of the wood. The chairs’ proportions make them well-suited for use in a reading nook, at a desk, or flanking a dining table. These chairs speak to a Scandinavian tradition rooted in utility, craftsmanship, and calm, enduring beauty. These minimalistic, yet eye-catching chairs will fit into many interior styles. A Modern, Scandinavian, Classic or an Art Deco home decor.
