The pieces blur the boundary between architecture and furniture
Architecture as furniture
Originating from the Turku Market Square Pavilions (2016), the series translates architectural ideas into a collection of elements – robust, generous, and conceived as part of a larger spatial experience. Inspired by Nordic forests and the tectonic logic of stacked timber, the pieces blur the boundary between architecture and furniture, allowing the two disciplines to inform and strengthen one another.
A growing family of elements
The series currently includes benches, armrests, and door handles – all sharing a design logic rooted in material honesty, structural clarity, and permanence. The collection spans from simple stools to upholstered versions, enabling different levels of comfort and use across both public and semi-public environments. Together they form a coherent family adaptable to a wide range of architectural settings while maintaining a clear, recognizable identity.
Material, craft, and time
Material origin, craftsmanship, and longevity are central to the development of the series. The long-term ambition is to produce the furniture using locally sourced pine, reinforcing the connection between material, place, and production. Designed to mature through use, the pieces welcome wear and patina as part of their architectural expression – durable objects built to age gracefully and remain relevant over time.
