Lilla Åland as an armchair was a natural successor and complement to the original stick-back chair.

Lilla Åland is a true classic in the Stolab range and a favourite that has represented excellent Swedish 20th century design on many occasions. Carl Malmsten was inspired by a visit to the Finnström Church on Åland in 1939, which contained a number of stick-back chairs lined up. He drew them and after a few of his own adjustments and additions, typical of his own style, serial production at Stolab began.
