Triennale

Yrjö Kukkapuro designed Triennale chair for The Milan Triennial of 1960. The chair was named after the international event where it was also awarded. Now, after 62 years the chair is being manufactured. The basic elements of Yrjö Kukkapuro’s design can be seen in the chair: light and minimalistic metal frame, wooden seat components and loose seat cushions.

Triennale is a pearl that was left out of the early production of Yrjö Kukkapuro, but now inspires with its modern look.

Due to the increase of the average height of people during the past decades the backrest of the chair has been heightened a bit. Otherwise the original design remains unedited. Even the foldable metal frame is part of the original Triennale. The wide wooden armrests are practical and give the chair a showy look. Manufacturing of the chair adheres to the principles of sustainability.

In the near future the Triennale product series will be complemented by fabric upholstered chairs as well as a version that is suitable for outdoor use.
