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.

Artek is proud to reintroduce Yrjö Kukkapuro’s legendary lounge chair Karuselli, which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2014. The modern design classic was a result of extensive experimentation and a revolutionary combination of ergonomics, new materials and production methods.
Kukkapuro began developing the fiberglass chair in the 1950s, arriving at the famous shape in 1964. The shape of the Karuselli chair is the result of extensive experimentation – Kukkapuro spent four years sculpting it and searching for the right dimensions, initially using his own body as a guide. Karuselli is exceptionally comfortable as well as stylistically distinctive precisely because it is ergonomically based on the shape and proportions of the human body. As a result of his persistent efforts, Kukkapuro finally arrived at a form that represented a novel combination of ergonomics, new materials and production methods, as well as artistic design.
