Storia Spoke-Back chair

Kari Virtanen, Nikari’s founder, master cabinet maker and Kaj Franck Design Award 2022 winner, wanted to celebrate his special connection to Kaj Franck, Finland’s “father of modern design,” who used to work quite closely with Kari during the 1970’s. The 2022 award was, therefore, very meaningful for Kari and inspired a new creation, the STORIA chair, which follows the local craftsmanship tradition of the spoke-back chair, but with modern elements and dimensions.
