Embodying an honest, minimalist design, Kallio and Thau have made the focus of Betty a feature most people don’t aim attention at - the webbing, usually concealed under the seat. Providing utmost support, the flexible, woven linen naturally bends slightly with your body, creating a comforting, relaxed experience.
A chair that is both sturdy and surprisingly light, the Betty TK1 Chair is perfect for acting as an eye-catching dining or desk chair.
Finnish designer Sami Kallio and Danish designer Jakob Thau have joined forces to create the Betty TK1 Chair for &Tradition.
Kallio grew up in Finland and was awarded a master's degree in design from the Gothenburg School of Design and Crafts. Thau was raised in Denmark and received a master's degree from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design.
Both then went on to train as cabinet makers, moving forward to execute their own purposeful, timeless designs; reflecting traditional techniques that have been reworked to a contemporary context.
