or Call to Order

In Between Armchair, by Sami Kallio for &Tradition, plays with the rela­tion­ship between posi­tive and nega­tive space. The chair is light and thin, yet strong (due to the clas­si­cal tech­niques of compres­sion molding and wood­turn­ing). Its design is minimal. The back and side panels provide a concrete shape and support, while forms are created equally by the distance that separates them. 

The armchair is avail­able without uphol­stery in the form of SK1. The fabric or leather uphol­stered seat of In Between Armchair SK2 is the perfect addi­tion to the wooden chair: it embraces modern lifestyles and long, cozy dinners around the dining table, without compro­mis­ing the chair’s light and elegant expres­sion. For more from the series, see the In Between stool.
