Designcraft

Sami Kallio's interplay between positive and negative space is central to this design. Its back and side panels provide a solid shape and support while the negative space forms equal gaps. Kallio's expertise in traditional woodworking craftmanship is evident in the chair. In Between is produced using two classical techniques - compression moulding (making it light and thin, yet strong) and woodturning (a technique that uses a lathe to achieve greater detail). 

Sami Kallio, with his solid grounding in the traditional woodworking techniques of Scandinavia and his eye for ingenious detail, has proven to be the ideal candidate to design the first wooden chair in &tradition’s stable of furniture.

The optional upholstered seat is the perfect addition to the wooden chair: it embraces modern lifestyles and long, cosy dinners around the dining table, without compromising the chair’s light and elegant expression.
