Remmi

Modeo

1969

The Remmi chair is a quintessential example of Yrjö Kukkapuro’s design philosophy, blending modularity, ergonomics, and an honest approach to construction.

The Remmi utilises a tubular steel frame to achieve a balance between structural strength and visual lightness. Its detachable cushions, upholstered in leather or fabric, provide ergonomic comfort with easy maintenance. The visible connections and joints are intentional design elements, reflecting Kukkapuro’s commitment to transparency in construction.

Originally designed in the late 1960s, the Remmi chair introduced a new level of modularity in furniture. Its original design allows for the chair to be combined and reconfigured into extended seating arrangements, showcasing Kukkapuro’s innovative use of serial components. A classic in both form and purpose, the Remmi chair continues to be a testament to Kukkapuro’s ability to create furniture that prioritises ergonomics, adaptability, and aesthetic clarity.
