Yrjo Kukkapuro Saturn Lounge Chairs Model B-175-18, 1960s, Finland

About the Item

These chairs are iconic Mid-Century Modern design at its finest! These lounge chairs were designed by Yjro Kukkapuro for Haimi, Finland in 1966. They feature a fiberglass body, and sumptuous cognac leather. Priced per pair, we currently have 2 pairs available. With pieces featured in museums and exhibitions globally, Kukkapura's work is highly collectable and sought after by collectors and designers alike. These chairs are equally as comfortable as they are gorgeous. We currently have these chairs in the gallery alongside a Vladimir Kagan cloud sofa with a Paul Evans coffee table a Verner Panton lounge and Raymond Loewy credenza-- and not only do these gorgeous lounge chairs make a statement, they really steal the show. While they're space age in nature, the design is softened by the cognac leather, subtly downplaying the space age nod. These chairs would look incredible with other pieces of that style, or in any Mid-Century Modern, modern, or contemporary environment. They would look great with Eero Aarnio pieces, or more iconic designs like an Arne jacobsen egg chair. Midcentury design truly at its finest.
