Karuselli Lounge Chair

Artek Karuselli Lounge Chair
Distinct in style and exceptionally comfortable, the Karuselli Lounge Chair exemplifies designer Yrjö Kukkapuro’s interest in achieving ultimate comfort through a union of function, ergonomics, and organic form.‎ Shaped to echo the human body, the inspiration for the Karuselli reportedly came about when the designer was playing outside making snow chairs with his daughter.‎ In search of the perfect dimensions, Kukkapuro spent several years sculpting the chair, arriving at the iconic form in 1964.‎ An immediate international success, the chair prompted Gio Ponti to choose Karuselli for the cover of Domus in 1966 and inspired Sir Terence Conran to proclaim it his favourite chair.‎
