Design House Stockholm Olivia chair black

The Olivia chair from Design House Stockholm is a new classic in modern seating – a perfect combination of Nordic design and practical comfort. The Olivia chair is made of pressed oak and rubberwood veneer, and its legs are designed to be slightly thicker for durability. The chair is available in four different finishes that emphasize its natural aesthetics and timelessness.

Designed by young Finnish designer Tatu Laakso, the Olivia chair combines lightness, durability and comfort. The opening in the backrest supports the back muscles, providing comfort even during long dinners. The sturdy legs and pressed oak and rubber wood veneer ensure durability. Laakso designed the Olivia chair while still a student at Aalto University's School of Art and Design. He was inspired by Alvar Aalto's iconic and durable designs, but at the same time he wanted to challenge their heavier visual appearance with a lighter and more modern approach. "Aalto's furniture was a part of everyday life here in Finland – in schools, libraries and public spaces. As a child, I didn't even recognize them as good design, they were just part of life"

Design House Stockholm

Anders Färdig founded Design House Stockholm in 1992, so-called as a design publishing house. The company brought out its first own products in 1997. Design House Stockholm has a peculiar, in many ways reversed way of working with its designers. They do not choose a designer for the product, but interested designers bring their own ideas to the table. In this way, the products have a strong, original and human stamp. The goal is to gather behind the name the best Scandinavian collection that lives beyond trends. This is achieved with bold products that always bring something new to their genre.

In Design House Stockholm, we don't only rely on great designers, but through it, many unknown designers have made their products available to everyone. The Block hit lamp was designed by Harri Koskinen, when he was still an unknown student. The lamp gained worldwide popularity and is currently one of the most famous lamps in the Design House Stockholm collection. Over the years, more than a hundred designers have increased the selection of Design House Stockholm with their unique products.
