Akademia Armrest

Wesley Walters & Salla Luhtasela, 2022

OVERVIEW

Designed by Wesley Walters and Salla Luhtasela, also known as duo Kaksikko, the Akademia Armrest chair combines a classic, straight frame with a softly curved seat, backrest and armrests. The chair was originally the result of Master’s Thesis work at Aalto University by a member of the Kaksikko team; Wesley Walters. It is a fascinating combination of different cultures – simplistic Shaker style, Japanese design traditions, and Finnish craftsmanship heritage. The chair is made of sustainably grown ash or oak and molded plywood. It functions as a dining chair, meeting chair, or visitor’s chair in various surroundings, blending gracefully into different interior styles.
