A perennial and thoughtful piece, the Kiki Three Seater was first produced in 1960. The Artek Kiki family of sofas, benches and lounge chairs brings with it an air of timeless cool, with the uncomplicated form of the object making the Kiki Sofa is a pitch-perfect example of forever furniture.
The simple, subtle aesthetic is met by the adoption of the finest leather in its upholstery, while a fabric version is also available.
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.
