The Akademia Armrest chair by Nikari combines a classic straight-lined frame with a softly curved seat and backrest. The design and proportions of the chair ensure a comfortable seat, for which the chair has received a lot of praise.
The elegant Akademia Armrest is equally suitable for the dining table and conference room, blending naturally into a wide variety of interior styles.
The chair was designed by Wesley Walters and Salla Luhtasela based on Walters’s thesis for Aalto University. The design of the Akademia Armrest is influenced by the traditions of Finnish chair-making and Japanese design, as well as the American Shaker style.
The chair is made of form-pressed plywood and oak from sustainably managed forests. The frame is made of lacquered oak. Seat height 46 cm.
The seat is upholstered in cognac-coloured Elmosoft 33004 semianiline leather. Soft Elmosoft semianiline leather not only guarantees excellent seating comfort but is also very durable, making this chair also suitable for public spaces.
