This armchair is named after the Paimio tuberculosis sanatorium in Southwest Finland. The chair was designed by Alvar Aalto at the same time as the sanatorium and it was chosen for seating in various places including the sanatorium common room. The chair was shown to the public for the first time at an exhibition of standard products held in conjunction with the Nordic Building Forum in Helsinki in 1932.
