About the Item
Since 1959 Yrjö Kukkapuro worked from his own studio, researching and developing ergonomic seating furniture in particular, which on the one hand often looks very futuristic but on the other turns out to be extremely comfortable. Also in the second half of the sixties he developed several series of chairs, for example the ‚junior‘ series (415, 416), closely related to the ‚Karuselli‘ chair. Kukkapuro’s translated his ergonomic know-how to organic shapes that make the chair very comfortable even in this „little brother“ version.
This Junior Swivel Chair is covered with a cognac-colored super soft leather, the chairs show signs of use, he is in a good vintage condition.

Pkw-2 Pivoting K-Wire Wood Base Side Chair, Eames Herman Miller, Bikini, Seng
By Herman Miller, Charles and Ray Eames
Located in Frankfurt am Main, DE
eames‘ chairs are so common and widespread today that you’ve actually seen them far too often. but there are some versions that are a bit more special – making them collector’s items. for example, these ray & charles eames side chairs ‚pkw-2‘, meaning a pivoting, k-wire chair on a wooden base. version 1 would be a fully covered seat, version 2 is the cut-out „bikini“ cover, where you can see the wire mesh construction. this is also known as a ‚bikini swivel wire chair‘.
here we have a black and a white one. we understood they were imported from the united states as a pair to Europe – but then sold on to different customers. years ago we bought the white one as the first piece in our eames-1st-generations-collection. by chance or serendipity, we were now able to find and buy the black one also and thus reunite the pair.
together they make impressive and scarce art objects to grace any collection of early midcentury design. interestingly the dowel-leg-version was discontinued after 1954: the open ball-bearing connection and the elegant thin wooden legs weren’t very practical. weight and power, when swivelling, sometimes resulted in cracks or breakage. (that’s why we wouldn’t recommend them to use as a kitchen chair, maybe.) they are functional, showing a wonderful patina and are great pieces to admire and to understand the thinking behind the design.
