1950s Domus Chair with Oak Veneer by Ilmari Tapiovaara
Designed by Ilmari Tapiovaara in 1946 for the Domus Academica student residence in Helsinki, the Domus chair is recognised by its compact armrests and gently curved wooden seat and back.
This 1950s example has oak-veneered seat and back panels and a light wooden frame. The chairs have recently been fully serviced and remain in good used condition, with small signs of age and use.
