When designing Koivu, special attention was put into the details and dimensions of the back rest. Possibly the most visible part of the chair in the interior. A curved shape cut from one piece of wood preserves the unique wood grains and supports the back comfortably.
The seat has a slightly irregular shape.
Koivu is a prototype in solid birch. Production of this chair is currently under planning.

The thought behind Balanse was simply to create beautiful and functional storage for magazines.
The layers of plywood repeat the graphic lines formed by a pile of magazines. The asymmetric shape of the furniture is inspired by the natural growth rings of the wood.
Every item is handmade with care from high quality plywood. They come in both birch and oak plywood as well as a variety of colours and finishes.
