Remmi lounge chair, chrome - Artek Zebra

The Remmi lounge chair is known as one of Yrjö Kukkapuro's most iconic and popular furniture. The minimalist armchair combines the key elements of Kukkapuro's design philosophy: ergonomics that support the body, timeless aesthetics and high-quality ecology. Designed in 1969, the chair features soft Artek Zebra upholstery and an elegant steel frame, creating a luxurious yet comfortable addition to the living room or reading corner.

The Key Flag certified Remmi lounge chair is made in Finland and all its parts, such as metal springs and cushions, can be easily repaired and renewed to achieve the longest possible life cycle. The products in the Remmi collection are part of a permanent exhibition at the world’s largest interior design museum: the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

Yrjö Kukkapuro

Yrjö Kukkapuro (born 1933) is one of the most prominent names in Finnish furniture design. Having begun his career as early as the 1950s, Kukkapuro has always aimed for a seamless combination of aesthetics and functionality, regardless of whether he is working on more artistic project or something entirely practical, such as an office chair collection. User experience and ergonomics are central to his design work: “Does it make any sense to design a chair which is not good to sit on?” he has often said. During his long career, Kukkapuro has designed numerous pieces of furniture that have become sought-after design classics, such as the iconic Remmi series and the Ateljee armchair and sofa.
