Here we offer the well-maintained “406” armchairs in an attractive combination: blonde birch plywood, clear lacquered and natural-colored hemp straps. All parts of these armchairs are original and only show a slight patina of age. The armchairs are marked with numbers under the runners, one armchair has the 5 stamped on both runners and the other has the 647 stamped on it. Certainly a marking from production to identify pairs on runners.

slight traces of wear. We show the light aalto armchairs from well-maintained previous ownership, acquired in switzerland. Acquired around 1975, the armchairs were always used in a smoke-free and pet-free environment.

birch plywood bent into shape under steam and clear varnished, natural hemp straps.
