Solid birch in natural lacquered or black stained birch makes up the structure of the Domus Lounge Chair, covered in leather upholstery that creates a stark contrast against the natural wooden material. By using such natural materials, the Domus Lounge Chair will easily fit in to any room or any decor. Artek was founded in Helsinki in 1935 by four young idealists: Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen, and Nils-Gustav. Similar to the Domus Chair, the chair is a combination of leather and wood.

Designed in 1946 by Ilmari Tapiovaara, Domus Chairs have been placed in homes and public spaces around the world ever since. The chair can be fully or half upholstered with leather or fabric. Comfortable enough to allow sitting for long periods of time, the Domus Chair achieved great success internationally, becoming known as “The Finn Chair.” The characteristic short arms mean that the Domus Chair can be pulled close to a table, perfect for studying at a desk and dining, while offering the necessary support and comfort.

A masterpiece of modern furniture design, the Domus Chair was created as part of a series of furniture for the Domus Academica student housing complex in Helsinki.
