Mid-Century Finnish “Karhu” Adjustable Chair by Kirjopuu Oy
A rare Finnish mid-century “Karhu” chair manufactured by Kirjopuu Oy. This distinctive industrial chair combines a solid wood seat and backrest with a robust black-painted steel frame and an adjustable height mechanism. Originally designed for professional workshop, drafting, or studio use, it is today a highly collectible example of Finnish industrial design. The chair features a screw-lift mechanism that allows the seat height to be easily adjusted. The backrest is also height-adjustable, enabling the chair to be tailored to different users while providing excellent ergonomic support. This practical engineering reflects the functional design principles of Finnish mid-century furniture. Beautifully aged solid wood contrasts with the black-painted steel frame, giving the chair a striking industrial aesthetic. The circular footrest and stable tripod base complete the design, making it both functional and visually distinctive. The chair remains in very good vintage condition with an attractive patina consistent with its age and use. Both the seat height adjustment and the adjustable backrest function smoothly, and the construction is solid and sturdy.
