Product description
Armchair 402 is a masterpiece of modernist furniture design, first presented by Alvar Aalto at the Milan Triennale in 1933. The frame cantilevers a cushioned seat, providing modern and comfortable seating. The slightly tilted back of Armchair 402 allows for gentle relaxation while still remaining in an upright position. Since wood changes over time, the armrests are formed from a single piece that is then split in half, ensuring that as the chair ages, it remains perfectly balanced.
Concept
Comfort is essential to the lounge chair; a place to sit becomes a place to spend time. Offering single seating, the lounge chair affords the sitter a range of postures, provides support, and distributes pressure. A lounge chair may be displayed alone to provide a focal point for an interior, as one of a pair, or as part of a larger configuration. The Artek collection of lounge chairs showcases radically different work by a range of designers. Varying in material and aesthetic, the lounge chairs all unite beauty with functionality.
