Lamino armchair and footstool

The Lamino armchair and footstool are a furniture combination from Swedish brand Swedese designed by Yngve Ekström in 1956. With its softly curved silhouette and thoughtful construction Lamino is a well-known example of Swedish furniture design. The armchair was created with the human body as its starting point and the aim of bringing simplicity and comfort together with natural materials in a balanced whole.

The frame is made of moulded laminated veneer with curved wooden lines that follow the body’s natural forms. The high back and inclined seat provide a relaxed seating position while the open construction creates a light and airy appearance. The matching footstool follows the armchair’s organic design language and provides comfortable support for the legs. Together they form a cohesive seating arrangement for rest and relaxation. Lamino is available in several wood species and finishes. The armchair was named Furniture of the Century by Sköna hem magazine and has become an established part of Swedish design history since its launch. The combination of careful craftsmanship and natural materials with soft forms gives Lamino its characteristic appearance.
