DESIGN POST KÖLN x ORGATEC 2024, 22-25 OCTOBER NEWS

Surrounded by the bright Fiskars autumn foliage, we are preparing for the last major design event of the year; Design Post Köln x ORGATEC 2024 in Cologne, Germany. If you’ll be able to visit us, contact us to receive the link to a free ticket via the DesignPost ticket page.

This time, we are presenting the latest addition to our esteemed Seminar collection, the console table called SEMINAR DESK. It complements the timeless functionality of the Seminar collection, where every detail has been carefully considered.

The table was designed by Nikari’s founder, Kari Virtanen, with Nikari’s creative director, Jenni Roininen, closely involved in the design process.

“The console table, like the other pieces in the Seminar series, suits different types of spaces because it’s so clean-lined and straightforward, designed entirely in harmony with solid wood,” Virtanen says.

The console table offers new possibilities: it can be used in narrow spaces like hallways and lobbies, but can also function as a small desk, for example, in hotel rooms.

The new SEMINAR DESK works equally well in home offices or other working environments. The front panel provides more privacy and creates a tidier look, hiding cables and clutter, as well as the legs of the person sitting at the table.

The Seminar collection fits beautifully into modern architecture, as the furniture doesn’t seek to draw attention to itself. Yet, it also works well in spaces with layers of history.

We will also be showing a selection of this year’s other product launches: the Archetyp Lounge chair by Jasper Morrison in leather, plus Archetyp Lobby in green Steelcut Trio, Pekka Koivikko’s Kumu chair, as well as John Pawson’s Frame Low coffee table.
