With a strong eye for detail and an innovative approach to design, Kallio created the In Between series. Initially a singular chair design, the collection now boasts a range of original furniture pieces combining high-quality artistry and luxurious materials with a Nordic aesthetic. Taking his own extensive knowledge of traditional woodwork and applying it with a contemporary expression, Kallio has elevated the commonplace dining table, creating a piece of expertly crafted forever design perfect for a modern lifestyle.
Sami Kallio was born in Helsinki, Finland, and moved to Gothenburg, Sweden, at the age of two. In Kallio’s own words, his work combines the melancholy of the Finnish design heritage with the humour of the Swedish tradition.
In 2009, Kallio co-founded the Gothenburg-based furniture manufacturer Brikolör. The company aims to produce furniture with a guaranteed technical durability of 300 years. In 2011, he established Sami Kallio Studio, and launched his first collection, The Finnish Blood in Me.
