Artek Domus Chair

Description

The frame of the Domus chair is made of solid birch or oak, the seat and the back rest of pressed plywood. An important feature of the chair is its stackability. The armrests are short, yet sufficient to rest your elbows. Domus at that time was the first modern chair, equally well suited for the use in auditoriums, schools and homes.

Domus was a great success, and became the guiding light for all of Tapiovaara’s subsequent work. Over the years, millions of Domus chairs have been placed in homes and public spaces. Domus became already an icon when it was first designed. Due to its success in Finland the Domus chair is lovingly called “Finnchair” in the United States.
