About the Item

Equipped with 360 degree shivel function. Manufactured by Hami Oy, Finland. Yrjö Kukkapuro, as often is stated, developed the design of the Karuselli chair shell after he was building a snow seat with his son, carving moulds out of snow. Later he designed the seat shell with its shivel base on a chromed metal bar supporting the seat. Industrial Fiberglass-moulding allowed to bring to life this outstanding and unique mid-century chair. As often stated it is one of the most comfortable lounge chairs ever made. The chair is in good vintage condition with strong signs of use, the leather shoes loss of it’s coat in large areas which gives it a remarkable and unique patina. But the leather itself is still solid and shows no holes or cracks.
