Nikari presents "May" chair, designed by Simom Heikkilä

Finnish compnay Nikari presents us, in this occasion, the “May” chair, within its project 2012 Designs For Nature (12 months, 12 designers, 12 products). May chair has been designed by Simo Heikkilä.

Simo Keikkilä tells us:

“The material, function and construction are the key elements guiding my work. One usually becomes more important than the others, depending on the project at hand. This combination doesn’t leave very much space for visuality, but whenever there is a chance for it, it will be taken.”.

MAY chair: birch, natural wood oil mixture.

The Project 2012 Designs for Nature has been carried out by Nikari in co-operation with the Finnish WWF, and is based in the manufacture of 12 products during the 12 months of the year by 12 recognized designers over the world, who use local forests’ wood and part od the sales price is donated to protecting rainforests and forests globally.
