Set of Primitive Brutalist Chairs in Solid Wood, T chairs, Olavi Hänninen

About the Item

This striking set of early 20th-century Brutalist chairs is attributed to Finnish designer Olavi Hanninen, known for his raw, sculptural approach to furniture. Crafted from solid hardwood, these chairs showcase a bold, monolithic aesthetic, where each piece is shaped by hand to emphasize the natural beauty of the wood. Visible knots, organic fissures, and irregular edges highlight the material’s authenticity, creating a unique dialogue between structure and imperfection. True to Hanninen’s philosophy, these chairs feature thick slab seats, slightly angled legs, and a distinctive crossbar backrest. The deeply patinated wood, shaped through time and use, enhances their presence, while the chiseled joinery and weighty construction reinforce their architectural quality. Their primitive yet functional form makes them a statement of Brutalist design, where simplicity and raw materiality take precedence over ornamentation. Ideal for collectors of Brutalist, wabi-sabi, and rustic European design, these chairs bring a sculptural quality to any interior, whether placed around a farmhouse table or as accent pieces in a modern setting. Available for private acquisition. For inquiries regarding provenance, restoration, or placement consultation, we welcome discerning collectors to connect with us.
