Lounge Chair and Ottoman by Ilmari Tapiovaara for Paolo Arnaboldi, 1970s

Designed in the 1970s by Ilmari Tapiovaara for Paolo Arnaboldi, this lounge chair and ottoman set merges tactile craftsmanship with relaxed functionality. The solid hardwood frame, with its rounded edges and robust proportions, anchors a wide seat and backrest composed of woven vegetable-tanned leather straps—supple, breathable, and naturally aged to a warm patina.

The matching ottoman mirrors the same woven construction for extended comfort, while the integrated side table in rich wood adds both visual balance and practical ease—perfect for a book, drink, or decorative object.

This rare Italian-Finnish collaboration captures a quiet sense of modernism: earthy, architectural, and invitingly lived-in. A compelling mix of function and warmth, equally suited to collectors and design enthusiasts.
