The Olivia Chair originates from an exploration on how to balance lightness, sturdiness, and comfort. Light to look at, and comfortable to sit on, according to Tatu Laakso, who crafted Olivia Chair during his master studies in Finland. The sheets of molded plywood render the chair slender yet strong. Inspired by, but also challenging the design heritage of Alvar Aalto. Paying close attention to detail, the young Finnish designer made the legs slightly thicker than the backrest for durability and strength. The chair is made from form-pressed oak and rubber wood veneer, available in four different lacquered versions.
