Karhu chair
A distinctive mid-century Finnish “Karhu” chair, combining industrial clarity with warm natural materials. The design features a beautifully contoured wooden seat and backrest, showcasing a rich, time-developed patina that highlights the grain and character of the wood. The sculptural metal frame provides a striking contrast—both visually light and structurally robust—while the circular footrest and adjustable height mechanism reflect its functional, workshop-inspired origins. This balance of utility and refined simplicity is characteristic of mid-century Nordic design. Originally conceived as a practical seating solution, the chair today serves equally well as a statement piece—ideal for a studio, kitchen island, or contemporary interior seeking an authentic vintage accent.
Dimentions:
Width: 16 in (41 cm) Depth: 20 in (52 cm) Height: 33 in (84 cm) Seat height: Adjustable
Condition:
Good vintage condition with wear consistent with age and use. Patina, minor marks, and surface wear contribute to its authentic character.
