In Between is produced using two classical techniques; compression moulding, (making it light and thin, yet strong) and woodturning (a technique that uses a lathe to achieve greater detail). Its back and side panels create an embracing shape and supportive seating environment, perfect for a dining space. In Between has a low-swung, crescent back- and armrest, and a very slightly pitched seat pan, creating a light and elegant expression. Both are balanced by the dynamically angled legs, resulting in an equilibrium of forms that makes In Between a contemporary design classic.
Part of the &Tradition In Between family, comprising of a collection of matching dining chairs and tables.
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.
