Tapio Anttila Collection’s Limi chair is an elegant example of the endless creative possibilities of bent wood. Consisting of two wooden pieces that have been bent and glued together overlapping each other, the chair’s ergonomic seat is designed to comfortably support the back, while the slender metal legs and asymmetrical crossbars add contrast to the design. Thanks to the materials and manufacturing methods, which create a small opening on the backrest, the chair has a delicate, airy and distinctive look as well as a lightweight and flexible structure. The Limi chair has been awarded the Good Design Award 2017.

Designer
Tapio Anttila (b. 1962) is an award-winning Finnish interior architect and furniture designer whose timeless, unassuming style is deeply rooted in Finnish design tradition – yet with a modern, boundary-pushing approach. Having graduated as an interior architect in 1994, Anttila worked as an in-house designer for the Finnish Isku Interior before founding his own design agency Tapio Anttila Design in 2005. Anttila has designed furniture and products for the likes of Lundia, Showroom Finland and Maze, and in 2016, he founded his very own furniture brand Tapio Anttila Collection.
Tapio Anttila’s favourite material is wood, particularly Finnish wood. He often strives to find new ways to use and work with wood in his design work, whether it be solid wood, bent wood veneer or even birchbark. Wood is connected to Nordic traditions and closeness to nature but is also a very eco-friendly choice for a material – sustainability is one of Anttila’s guiding principles as a designer.
Anttila has been awarded the 2018 Kaj Franck Prize and the internationally acclaimed Good Design Award, the latter numerous times! In addition, he has been awarded the Finnish Furniture Designer of the Year 2012 award and the international Top Designer Award 2017.
