{"title":"Esko Pajamies","description":"\u003cp\u003eEsko Pajamies is one of the most distinctive figures in Finnish post-war furniture design. Working primarily with Asko and Lepo from the 1960s through the 1980s, he developed a body of work that balances sculptural confidence with everyday usability. His pieces, lounge chairs, dining sets, sofas are rooted in the modernist tradition but carry their own clear Finnish character. At Pino Interiors, this collection brings together available pieces by or attributed to Pajamies, including seating and occasional furniture from his most recognised series. Availability varies as each piece is sourced individually.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"esko-pajamies-elefantti-chairs-for-asko-1970s","title":"Esko Pajamies Elefantti Chairs for Asko, 1970s","description":"\u003cp\u003eA rare Elefantti chair designed by Finnish designer Esko Pajamies and manufactured by Asko in the 1970s.
