Nikari’s Scandinavian Craftsmanship & Tradition in 8 Unique Pieces
The Nikari studio is nestled away in the woods of the Fiskars village. Surrounded by trees and fueled by nature, it is no mystery why Nikari’s collection features unforgettable pieces imbued with natural forms and crafted from the finest ash, birch, and oak available to Nikari’s craftsmen and designers. Here are 8 amazing pieces that showcase Nikari’s commitment to Scandinavian craftsmanship and tradition.
Arkitecture Table
Inspired by the utility of workshop benches, Nikari’s Arkitecture Table combines Scandinavian simplicity with a more industrial touch. Featuring trestle legs and showcasing birch or ash wood local to the Nikari studio area, the Arkitecture Table infuses a graceful, natural atmosphere into dining rooms, restaurants, offices, and design studios.
Arte Lounge Chair
Designer Rudi Merz uses the subtle details of the Arte Lounge Chair to exemplify his unparalleled understanding of art in everyday environments. From the open angles of the frame to the slats of the seat and backrest, to the luxurious cushions, the Arte Lounge Chair exudes quiet charm and dreamy artistry.
Konstruktio Bench
Through the Konstruktio Bench the Scandinavian concept of moderation and balance are not only embraced but epitomized, mixing it with Nikari’s own philosophy of nature first. The sharp edges and distinct angles are crafted using the oiled birch, ash, or oak that is often featured in Nikari’s designs giving the composition of the Konstruktio Bench a sleek and irresistible sculptural romance that allows it to fit right into the forest from which the materials were harvested.
April Tables
As part of the 12 Designs For Nature series, the April Tables stand as homage to Nikari’s most beloved mission: maintain a beautiful, balanced interaction between our natural home and the spaces we create. Designed by Alfredo Häberli, the April Tables come in three heights and showcase an enchanting contrast between the crisp lines of the tabletop and the organic, luxurious curves of the base. Use the April Tables as coffee tables, pedestals, or side tables in every room of the house.
Linea Sofa
Designed to meld into any modern living space, the Linea Sofa uses soft lines, tapered armrests, and deep cushions to create a modest luxury that welcomes the user to sit and stay a while. The simple wood frame featured turned legs and rounded edges that complete the affable expressions of the Linea Sofa.
Edi Bench
Clean lines and a modest presence define the Edi Bench. Utilizing bold, traditional joinery techniques as the primary detail of the Edi Bench, the natural ash and oak are allowed to shine, showing off the grain and natural aspects of the wood unique to every piece. Use the Edi Bench throughout the house as extra seating, dining seating, or display space for plants and knickknacks.
Centenniale Coffee Table
Centenniale Coffee Table’s designer, Joanna Laajisto, embraces the unique markings of the ancient ash or oak used to create the dynamic modern coffee table; believing each marking, formed over the tree’s lifetime, gives each piece its character and charm. Never scared of making a statement, the Centenniale Coffee Table uses bulkier cuts of wood for a thick, sturdy tabletop complemented by larger, rounded legs. The contrast in sharp and soft shapes helps the Centenniale Coffee Table stand out among the modern, Scandinavian furnishings of contemporary homes and commercial spaces.
Perch Bar Stool
A classic Finnish composition, the Perch Bar Stool uses classic craftsmanship techniques to create a modest stool suitable for all living spaces. Constructed from the oak that has come to be synonymous with Nikari, the Perch Bar Stool features a T-shaped footrest, carefully turned legs, and a rounded seat that optimizes comfort.
