The Kiki Lounge Chair has a frame made of distinctive oval steel tubing. The upholstery offers clean, smooth-edged contours that provide comfort and support. The Lounge Chair is joined in the Kiki collection by the Kiki Bench, Sofa, and Low Table. Modular in nature, the pieces can be combined in any number of configurations, while their compact size means they fit naturally into smaller spaces. Announcing a departure from designer Ilmari Tapiovaara’s earlier work, Kiki employs a clean-cut design idiom.

Ilmari Tapiovaara, 1960

The Kiki lounge chair is part of the timeless and elegant Kiki collection, designed by Ilmari Tapiovaara in 1960. Tapiovaara wanted to design reasonably priced furniture for a broad public. In the Kiki series, he used a more clean cut design instead of the rather organic style he had favored previously. Oval steel tubing is the structural and unifying element of the whole collection. Kiki became a success, establishing the current direction for furniture design at this time. It is one of the most popular pieces of public furniture in Finland.
