Aava

Antti Kotilainen, 2013

OVERVIEW

Aava is the brain child of the first collaboration Finnish designer Antti Kotilainen and Arper Italy.  Aava transforms a basic shape in to something special through the texture and warmth of wood.  The soft curves yield a contemporary silhouette that is both striking and sensitive, an adaptive form that assimilate to any environment. Made for both residential and contract use, Aava’s wooden shell and base are made of precompound wood skillfully milled in variable thickness and sheathed in veneer to accentuate the sinuous silhouette.
