Yrjo Kukkapuro collaboratively designed the Arkitecture YKA1 Lounge Chair with Finnish designer and woodcarver Kari Virtanen, bringing their own unique styles and values to the finished product. Created for Nikari, Kukkapuro carefully considered the dimensions required to ensure the comfortability of the lounge chair's seat and backrest, using renowned techniques previously utilised in the designer's past projects.
The base of the YKA1 Lounge Chair is crafted from natural Birch wood with a wood oil mix, and the seat is finished with a choice of luxurious fabric upholsteries, perfect for all manner of settings.
