Telefonica Lounge Chair

Alvar Aalto's bent-plywood cantilever chair is one of design history's most copied silhouettes — elegant in origin, ubiquitous in repetition. This piece takes that familiar base and replaces the seat with a wide woven surface, eliminating the need for cushioning entirely. The semi-transparent weave gives the chair a lightness that upholstery never could, while the open pattern ventilates naturally — the same reason this technique has been used for generations along the coast of Acapulco. Modern and timeless in equal measure. At home in minimal, bohemian and mid-century interiors.
