Happiness & Modern Homes: Made by Choice

The friendship between the Made by Choice founders Lasse Laine, Sebastian Jansson, and Niclas Ahlström is seen in the even friendlier nature of all their chairs, tables, and décor pieces. Joined by a love for the beautiful and driven by the desire to elevate the everyday, Made by Choice employs centuries old woodworking techniques, holistic sustainability practices, and uniquely Finnish design quirks to create timeless furniture and accessories that cultivate Nordic happiness.

 

Airisto Work Desk

Emphasizing the expression of the natural ash wood, the Airisto Work Desk aesthetic falls somewhere between classical and modern minimalist. With large, bold shapes the Airisto Work Desk slides up against the wall as a console or buffet table, or it stands out in the office as a desk with plenty of leg room. Either way, the rounded legs and oval tabletop pull you in and allow the Airisto Work Desk to become an architectural statement as much as a functional daily workspace.

Bouquet Chandelier

All charm and brilliance, the Bouquet Chandelier is a floral arrangement that never dies. The loose, gentle waves of the painted plywood petals are asymmetrically placed into a starburst display emanating from a single central light source. The composition alone is enough to endear it to a crowd, but add the brass details and bright, friendly colors and the Bouquet Chandelier is the perfect light for bedrooms, dining rooms, offices, and more.

Kolho Lounge Chair

The Kolho collection is where whimsy meets reason. Perhaps one of the best examples of designer Matthew Day Jackson’s multidisciplinary approach to modern home furnishings, the Kolho Lounge Chair pairs the ergonomically shaped plains of the seat and backrest with the unruly, serpentine lines of the armrests and legs. Carved out of plywood and finished in either black or  natural tones, the Kolho Lounge Chair will capture the imagination and turn a simple moment of relaxation into a conversation piece.

Laulu Cabinet

From the mind of designer Matti Klenell, the Laulu Cabinet immediately catches the eye. Perforated Valchromat board is deeply stained into an enticing coffee hue and perforated with 3296 holes to create intrigue and semi-transparency. Use the high or low Laulu Cabinet to store everything from extra dishes in the dining room to electronics in the living room.

Nude Dining Chair

Originally designed for Pekka Terävä's Nude restaurant in Helsinki, Finland, Made by Choice collaborated with Harri Koskinen to bring the Nude Dining Chair vision to life. Crafted from beautiful oak and available in leather or fabric upholstery, the Nude Dining Chair is a masterclass in Nordic design elegance and a superior understanding of form and function. From the curving backrest to the angled legs, the stackable Nude Dining Chair addresses all the needs of the modern dining room and restaurant.
