  Alvar Aalto / Design Museum Collection : Architect (1898-1976) - Design/Designer Information
When designing the Paimio Sanatorium, for instance, he approached the project from the perspective of a patient and created a serene, but cheering environment.
Inspired by the tubular steel Marcel Breuer chairs in his own home, the Paimio Chair was devised to ease the breathing of tubercolosis patients in a combination of moulded wood and plywood which, Aalto believed, would be warmer and more comfortable than metal.
When the Paimio Sanatorium was completed in 1933, the influential critic Siegfried Giedion hailed it as a modernist masterpiece alongside Walter Gropius’ Bauhaus Dessau and Le Corbusier’s League of Nations project.

 Alvar Aalto — an appreciation — Virtual Finland
The patients' rooms, with their specially designed heating, lighting and furniture, remain models of what would now be called 'integrated environmental design', and the classic Paimio chair was intended both to assist the patients' breathing and to feel more welcoming than orthodox modern furniture.
The Paimio chair and other furniture were rapturously received in London in 1933, when they were exhibited at the Fortnum and Mason store, the Architectural Review acclaiming them 'cheap and seemly furniture, light and easy to move.

 MoMA.org | The Collection | Alvar Aalto. Paimio Chair. 1931-32
Admired as much for its sculptural presence as for its comfort, the Paimio Chair is a tour de force in bentwood that seems to test the limits of plywood manufacturing.
The chair's framework consists of two closed loops of laminated wood, forming arms, legs, and floor runners, between which rides the seat—a thin sheet of plywood tightly bent at both top and bottom into sinuous scrolls, giving it greater resiliency.
The Paimio Chair, the best-known piece of furniture designed by Aalto, is named for the town in southwestern Finland for which Aalto designed a tuberculosis sanatorium and all its furnishings.
