Twins is a chair collection designed by Sami Kallio
The design takes its starting point from simple geometric shapes, using these as the basis for a collection with a distinct and vibrant character — pieces described as the “candy” of the room, bringing charm and personality to any interior in which they are placed.
The collection sits within a particular design tradition that treats the chair not as a neutral object but as something with presence and expression — a piece that contributes actively to the mood of a space rather than simply providing a place to sit.
The reference to simple geometric shapes keeps the design from becoming overly complex or decorative; instead, Twins achieves its character through a confident formal language that reads clearly across the room.
Despite its playful aesthetic, the construction is stable and the material quality considered. The chairs are made in oak, a material that grounds the collection in a Scandinavian craft tradition and gives it a durability and warmth that work across both modern and classic interior contexts. The balance between the playful character of the design and the reliability of oak as a material is central to what makes Twins a versatile collection.
