The “39” Chaise Longue features a cantilevered frame and uses birch veneers welded together to create a compression spring, providing both structural support and comfortable seating. The chaise’s unique design, influenced by Aalto’s breakthrough in the mid-1930s, incorporates the “spring leaf support.”
