Product Descriptions and Specifications

Yuki Chair

Designed by Kaare Falbe, the Yuki is a general-purpose chair available with or without armrests. The base is made from 14 mm steel tubing, finished either with powder coating or chrome plating.

Soft Collection

Designed by Kai Korhonen, the Soft collection includes the Soft Kiss easy chair and Soft Pilvi sofa. These pieces utilize soft laminated polyurethane foam sheets as structural elements, replacing traditional plywood supports. This innovation enhances comfort and design flexibility.

Noon and Dawn Chairs

Designed by Timo Mikkonen, Noon and Dawn are chairs intended for lounge and reception areas. Noon is a fully upholstered, straightforward lounge chair. Dawn shares the same design language but is smaller and encourages a more upright seating posture, making it suitable for conference rooms and restaurants.

Scarlett Chair

Designed by Ilkka Suppanen, Scarlett is a modern, lightweight small chair that adapts flexibly to the sitter's movements. It is stackable and available in three upholstery options: unupholstered, seat-only upholstered, or fully upholstered. The frame is constructed from 10 mm steel rod, with or without armrests, and the seat is form-pressed.

Vilter Chair

Designed by Yrjö Wiherheimo, Vilter is a minimalist small chair available with either a steel tube or solid birch frame. The upholstery fabric, named "Lines," was designed by Ilkka Suppanen for Marimekko, adding a distinctive textile element to the chair.
