First envisioned in 1960, and considered a favourite of Nordic design ever since, the Kiki Low Table, with its compact shape, is the ideal side or coffee table for the modern home. Sleek and sensitively proportioned, the Kiki is finished with an HPL table top and features an elegant and hardwearing tubular steel frame. Tapiovaara’s table is available here in two lengths, or separately in a square configuration, while the wider Kiki range features a number of complimenting seating solutions.
Finnish designer Ilmari Tapiovaara was one of the greatest interior architects and designers of his era. With the mind of an explorer and soul of a craftsman, Tapiovaara was always looking for ways to improve everyday objects. He embraced the principle of social equality and became a leading figure in the years after World War Two, when design was no longer seen as a luxury for the few.
A main characteristic of Tapiovaara's work was that he explored its possibilities through multiplicity - he created many versions of each of his designs and reissued them in different shapes.
Tapiovaara's most iconic work is his Domus Chair, a stackable plywood chair which he designed for Domus Academica, a new student housing facility in Helsinki.
