Missoni has created its own interpretation of the classic Armchair 400, designed by Alvar Alto. This chair is part of the campaign Dress the chair! which celebrates the 75th anniversery of Artek. Affectionately nicknamed 'The Tank', the armchair was first shown at the Milan Triennale in 1936. In the Artek & Missoni collaboration, armchairs 400 and 402 and Stool 60 are upholstered with Missoni's distinguished fabrics, Missoni Kew, Missoni Leigh and Missoni Chevron.
From Milan, Dress the chair! will go on tour to New York, Sydney, Tokyo and Helsinki. Along the way, new artists and designers will be invited to participate in the campaign, and their personal visions will be published one by one as the campaign reaches each new metropolis. When the tour ends in Helsinki, all visions will be brought together for a final show.
