About the Item
This super cool pair of ‘Junior’ chairs designed in the 1960's by acclaimed Finnish designer Yrjö Kukkapuro embodies the perfect balance between form, function, and comfort.
Each chair features a striking red leather upholstery, which adds a bold, mid-century appeal. The contoured seat and backrest are designed to provide added comfort. The leather is complemented by a sleek moulded frame, which follows a minimalist yet sculptural form, making these chairs not only practical but also artistic statement pieces.
Supported by a sturdy yet lightweight base, the ‘Junior’ chairs exhibit Kukkapuro’s deep understanding of materials and construction. Their design reflects the Scandinavian modernist principles of simplicity, functionality, and durability, making them a versatile addition to both contemporary and vintage interiors.
Whether used in a living space, office, or gallery setting, these chairs exude a distinctive charm and historical significance.
This pair is a rare find, as original ‘Junior’ chairs in such well-preserved condition are increasingly difficult to acquire.
About Yrjö Kukkapuro:
Yrjö Kukkapuro is a renowned Finnish furniture designer celebrated for his ground-breaking work in functionalism and ergonomics. His career, spanning several decades, has been defined by a passion for designing furniture that prioritises both aesthetic beauty and user comfort.

His work is featured in museums and private collections worldwide, solidifying his reputation as one of the leading figures in Scandinavian furniture design.
About The Maker:
Haimi was a Finnish furniture manufacturer renowned for its collaborations with some of Finland’s most celebrated designers, including Yrjö Kukkapuro. During the mid-20th century, Haimi specialized in producing modernist furniture that pushed the boundaries of material experimentation and ergonomic design.
The company gained prominence in the 1960s and 1970s by manufacturing Kukkapuro’s iconic seating designs, including the Karuselli chair, Junior chair, and other moulded, upholstered pieces. Haimi’s expertise in working with fiberglass, moulded plastics, and leather upholstery allowed Kukkapuro’s vision of functionality and comfort-driven design to come to life.
Haimi’s production quality was exceptional, ensuring that their furniture remained durable, lightweight, and timeless—a reason why their pieces are still highly sought after today by collectors of Scandinavian modernism.
