Stolab's Lilla Åland armchair is a Swedish classic designed by Carl Malmsten in 1942. Malmsten drew up the chair design after his visit to the Finström Church on the Åland island that is located between Sweden and Finland – he was inspired by a stack of stick-back chairs he saw in the church and decided to create his own version of them. The end result was a modern Windsor-style chair named Lilla Åland as a reference to the chair’s original inspiration. The wooden armchair is manufactured at Stolab's own factory in Smålandsstenar, Sweden, and is available in a number of colors and finishes.
