'Domus Lounge Chair' by Ilmari Tapiovaara for Artek
Featuring the idiosyncratic Domus armrests, and with a seat and backrest made out of a single plywood element, the Domus lounge chair is exceedingly comfortable. In 1946, designer Ilmari Tapiovaara and his wife Annikki won the commission to design the interior of the Domus Academica student housing complex in Helsinki. Confident that functionalism would promote social equality, Tapiovaara created the 'Domus Lounge Chair' as part of a series of furniture for the students. Over time, its popularity has extended far beyond the location for which it was first intended.
The Domus series by Artek also comprises the Domus Chair. Both pieces are functional and versatile, and share a distinctive aesthetic and characteristic short arms.
