Description 

Alvar Aalto's designs merge Bauhaus functionalism with Scandinavian craftsmanship and a deep connection to nature, influencing both his work and that of Marcel Breuer. He designed Armchair No. 41 for Finland's Paimio Sanatorium, where the curved seat and back also serve as springs, providing unprecedented comfort in wooden furniture. Its simple construction, with few components, made it ideal for mass production.
