The Karu chair is a contemporary update of a classic design first produced in Finland by the Haimi Oy company in the early 1950s. The inviting curved arms and subtle winged back are the epitome of the post-war Nordic aesthetic. Karu offers perfect proportions for a bedroom or living room chair. This example is upholstered in genuine Australian sheepskin.

Haimi
Gunnar Haimi founded his eponymous furniture company - Haimi Oy - in Finland in 1943, focussing on exceptionally well-upholstered furniture typical of the Finnish aesthetic established by Marta Blomstedt and others.
In the 1960s however, a distinctly modernist style was developed under the guidance of lead designer Yrjö Kukkapuro, with the introduction of materials like fibreglass, metal and leather.
Haimi would go on to achieve huge international acclaim and produce furniture by Marcel Breuer and Tobia Scarpa.
