designed by ilmari tapiovaara in 1946 for the domus academica student housing complex in helsinki, the domus chair was developed as a multipurpose chair for studying and dining. designed with student living in mind, it combined a comfortable, moulded plywood seat with a practical construction that allowed the chairs to be stacked and easily assembled.
the design went on to become one of finland's most successful post-war furniture exports, sold internationally under the names 'stax' and 'finnchair'.
this example has a lovely dark colour to the birch and a naturally worn surface, with signs of age and use throughout.
