Kansi
Kunde: Avarte

Zeitraum: 2019

Kansi (deck in Finnish) is a collection of chairs and tables designed to fit into almost any type of work environment and public space. The simplicity of the lines makes these chairs stackable and allows you to order them with or without an armrest. For more modularity, it can come with wheels. A unique plywood board is manufactured for the exclusive use of this collection. The table Kansi is divided into 4 equal segments with a little gap in between each one. That allows you to pass electric cables for any kind of electric device through. The tables are perfect for a home office or a collective working space. These prototypes wouldn't have been possible without the collaboration of Avarte China.
