:: design we love :: NIKARI’S december chair

The Finnish know how to design a well-crafted chair, this one is constructed from lovely Ash with a cognac-colored leather seat and back. NiKari was a company founded in 1967 and their first furniture collaborations were will the likes of Alvar Aalto and Kaj Franck. Woodworker Kari Virtanen was nineteen when he started his studio and the first project he worked with Aalto on was a church in Finland. Today, they strive to continue make timeless products that will last, with wood that is sustainably forested. The December Chair [shown above] is our favorite because it’s an instant classic and a thoughtful addition to Pacific Northwest designed home.
