Designed in a classic Scandinavian style, this bentwood lounge chair Revit family features a curved grey seat shell and continuous timber loop arms. The model reproduces the iconic curved silhouette of the Paimio chair, showcasing a single continuous seat and backrest formed from rolled plywood in a muted grey finish. Distinct horizontal vent slots puncture the rolled headrest curve at the top, echoing the historic sanatorium design. The supporting structural frame comprises two continuous laminated timber loops that function seamlessly as both front and rear runners and integrated armrests. Slender cross-rails beneath the seat pan brace the cantilevered birch-tone base, maintaining an open, lightweight form.
The download is a 225 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.
Load this furniture family directly into Revit project templates to place floor-hosted seating in plan or 3D views. The geometry allows easy assignment of custom material parameters to separate the lacquered seat shell from the bent timber frame. Because of its lightweight file size, it inserts cleanly across multiple floor layouts without burdening project performance during coordination or rendering.
Well suited for high-end residential living rooms, modern library reading nooks, hotel lobbies, and executive breakout areas, this seating asset enhances conceptual interior presentations and construction document packages alike. Designers looking for an iconic mid-century modern armchair, Scandinavian bentwood lounge seating, or classic birch armchair will find it pairs effortlessly with low coffee tables, wool area rugs, and minimalist architectural shelving.
