Showcasing Thau & Kallio’s affinity for natural materials and hand-crafted pieces, the &Tradition Betty collection revitalises traditional Nordic forms with a contemporary expressiveness. The TK9 Armchair combines slender limbs with gently angled arm and backrests to create an unparalleled dining experience. The use of canvas webbing for the seat adds a rich tactility while also enhancing comfort. The chair’s proportions have been carefully considered, perfectly matching the human form.
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.
