The black frame perfectly complements the warm brown seat, due it a harmonious and timeless character. The piece is distinguished by its elegant, solid construction with distinctive curved rocking runners that flow seamlessly into the legs, ensuring stability and a light form. The slender, vertical backrest spokes and the contoured, ergonomic seat emphasize the Scandinavian aesthetic and attention to comfort. The piece is crafted from high-quality materials, with a strong emphasis on precise joints and natural finishes, typical of Ilmari Tapiovaara's classic design.

The armchair is in original vintage condition with minor signs of wear due to age. Minor scrapes. The seat height is 42 cm.
