About the...

Archetyp Lounge Chair

Archetyp Lounge is a functional, simple and straightforward lounge chair. The dimensions and shapes give an idea of a chair pared to the bare minimum with subtle refinement. The upholstered seat and back give good support for long-term seating. Archetyp is totally new, and at the same time familiar to the eye.

Meet the designers

Nikari

Nikari works in solid wood and very little else. Oak, ash and birch arrive as boards and leave as chairs, and the joint is the detail you are meant to notice: a through-tenon left visible, an arm shaped to the hand, a leg that tapers only where tapering helps.

The workshop has been at this since 1967, and the catalogue reads like a quiet argument for restraint. The January table keeps a plain top on four square legs. The Linea Akademia armchair gives a dining room something to look at without raising its voice. Seminar benches and sofas sit low and long. Periferia and Skandinavia chairs stack the same thinking into smaller frames.

These are pieces for rooms where the wood is the finish, and they age the way good wood does.
