A collection with true Finnish blood
by Iulia Constantin
When you think of furniture and design, there are some pieces of work that you cannot confound with other. Sami Kallio truly desired that the result of his work could reflect a simple, clean style, an image that could exhale beauty, personality and uniqueness. His collection is entitled “The Finnish Blood in Me” and it really emphasizes the Finnish blood that runs in the objects’ “veins”.
Inspired by his childhood memories, the collection includes stools with legs like lollipop sticks, two wooden chairs, one with a twisted steel backrest and one inspired by the classic Windsor chair, and, last but not least, a very cool table lamp.
Stool represents a stackable stool made in turned metal and ash legs.
Layer is a stackable chair made from solid wood and lasercut aluminum sheets in different warm colours.
Sliced, an easy chair inspired by a classic Windsor Chair.It is made out of bended wood and solid ash.
Workshop, a beautiful table lamp made of untreated ash, where the cord is hidden inside the steam bended arm. The base is in metal and shade in aluminum. With the brass screw you can adjust the height on the arm. The shade is easy to be moved along the arm with the leatherband.
The Finnish Blood in Me represents “a collection where material and detail are in focus. Nothing strange or conceptual, just memories and function…” claims the designer.
Sami grew up in Finland and, now, he works as a freelance designer in Gothenburg, Sweden.
