BIENNALE
design Kari Virtanen, 2014
The Biennale stool-table was made for the Architectural Biennale of Venice, as something that can be found in many Finnish cottages or homes. Naturally the Biennale stool-table is bigger and heavier, and the finishing is made much more carefully than the chunks usually found at private homes. Biennale is made of solid oak, and it is meant to have cracks, wormholes, unevenness, and knots, making each piece unique. It will also move and continue its life during the years; changing its shape more or less. The careful craftsmanship work makes every piece a one-of-a-kind work of art.
