Plywood Chair "The Kaarina Chair" by DAN-FORM, 2003
About the Item
Designed by Danish manufacturer DAN-FORM in 2003, The Kaarina Chair presents a seamless fusion of sculptural elegance and technical precision. Made from birch plywood with a warm walnut veneer, the chair’s fluid silhouette suggests it was carved from a single piece—an effect achieved through a meticulous process of sawing, molding, milling, and gluing, all finished with a transparent lacquer that highlights the wood’s natural character.
Its form draws clear inspiration from the groundbreaking work of designers like Marcel Breuer, Alvar Aalto, and Grete Jalk—pioneers who explored the expressive potential of bent plywood in modern furniture. The Kaarina Chair continues this lineage, offering a contemporary interpretation that feels both fresh and grounded in design history.
With its refined profile and lightweight construction, the chair complements a variety of interiors, from minimalist spaces to more eclectic settings. It’s a thoughtful example of how innovative material techniques can yield objects that are at once functional and quietly sculptural—where design is not only seen, but felt.
