Pair Of Ilmari Lappalainen Helena Armchairs, Asko 1960s

The chair could be considered as a sibling or a cousin to the Laila chair and borrows a lot of it's form yet with slightly different lines. The design however remains truly soft, humane, and incredibly comfortable. They sit beautifully in living rooms, reading corners, spacious bedrooms, or refined entrance halls. Functional, comforting, and visually gentle at the same time.

The pair is in its original condition with the original upholstery which needs changing and overall renovation. An extra serves we can provide tailored to your needs and requests at an affordable rate.

Ilmari Lappalainen was one of Asko’s key designers from the 1940s onward and responsible for numerous iconic furniture models. Asko itself was the leading furniture manufacturer in Finland and among the largest in Europe during the mid-century era — shaping the everyday furniture culture of the Nordic home. These chairs are a wonderful early example from that important period in Finnish furniture history.
