STORIA CHAIR, design Kari Virtanen
Nikari’s father figure and founder, Kaj Franck Design Award 2022 winner Kari Virtanen wanted to celebrate his special connection with Finland’s “Father of modern design”, Kaj Franck, who used to work quite closely with Kari during the 70’s. The Award was thus very meaningful for Kari, and resulted in a new creation, the STORIA spoke-back chair, which follows the long local craftsmanship traditions of the spoke-back chairs, but with modern elements and dimensions.
