Set of 4 Laukaan Puu ‘Pirkka’ Dining Chairs for Ilmari Tapiovaara

This set of four early Pirkka chairs, designed by Ilmari Tapiovaara and produced by Laukaan Puu in 1950s Finland, exemplifies the timeless appeal of Nordic design. Known for their elegant functionality and natural materiality, the Pirkka chairs are a hallmark of Tapiovaara’s ability to merge form and comfort with honest craftsmanship.

Each chair features solid pine seats and backrests composed of multiple pieces, giving them a distinctive, sculptural look. The legs and back spokes, made of black-lacquered beech, create a striking contrast against the warm pine tones.

This set has undergone a complete restoration:

• The pine components have been meticulously cleaned and refinished to revive their original warmth and texture.

• The legs and backrests now have a durable, high-quality black lacquer finish, replacing the original, which had deteriorated beyond repair.

Sturdy and visually stunning, these iconic mid-century chairs are in excellent restored condition, ready to bring character and classic Finnish design to any space.
