The timeless 406 armchair was created by Alvar Aalto in 1939 for the Finnish furniture manufacturer Artek. The chair is a classic that characterizes when simplicity and clean lines are at their best. Armchair 46 has Aalto's typical frame, which is a stylistic detail shared by most of his furniture pieces. Its molded birch frame is Aalto's signature, and its beautiful shapes are reminiscent of many of his other pieces of furniture with organic forms. The flexible wood makes 406 exceedingly comfortable.

This stylish and timeless chair is a popular feature in Scandinavian homes - not only for its stunning design but also for its comfort. The 406 armchair comes with a natural birch frame and a saddle frame in either black or natural color.
