The Paimio chair was designed by Alvar Aalto. The chair was created as part of the Paimio Sanatorium's overall project. This was won by Alvar Aalto in 1929. instead of using metal tubes which was popular at the time, Aalto wanted something that will feel warmer, more at home. In 1931, the Paimio chair was created with bent plywood and laminated wood. The simple design was made not only for looks but also for people to feel free and not claustrophobic while sitting.
