Designed by Ilmari Tapiovaara in 1956, the Mademoiselle armchair is a Finnish design classic published by Artek. With its sloping backrest that tapers upwards to fit your back perfectly, this armchair is perfect for relaxing and enjoying your home. It is made entirely of black or white lacquered birch. Its iconic shape is equally at home in any style of interior. This timeless chair captures the essence of Finnish design and adds a discreetly elegant touch.
Founded in 1935, Artek is committed to "selling furniture and promoting a culture of modern housing through exhibitions and other educational means." The founders, Aino and Alvar Aalto, Maire Gullichsen and Nils-Gustav Hahl decided to undertake an artistic synthesis by combining architecture, design and urbanism.
Artek has produced the greatest classics of the 20th century, such as Chair 65 and Pendant Light A330. Timeless functionality and aesthetics define each product. Most of the creations were designed by Alvar Aalto, but Artek also worked closely with international designers such as Naoto Fukasawa and Enzo Mari.
