New OIVA Ash Wood Chair from Lapalma

How do you make a new chair? By taking apart the most classic kitchen chair or barstool, playing with the structural symmetries, and harmoniously redesigning the surfaces with contemporary style. That’s how the splendid OIVA chair designed by Antti Kotilainen was created.

Lapalma presents this new all wooden chair. In Finnish, its name indicates “something good, pleasant and familiar”, like a childhood memory in a northern European home.

Set apart by its simplicity, lightness and exquisite balance, OIVA looks right at home in public spaces (coffee shops, cafeterias, restaurants, or offices) or in a modern, essential kitchen or living room. The brand thinks it is important to follow its eco-sustainable vocation. Therefore, OIVA is made of a single material: wood harvested in FSC certified forests which allows the product to be completely recycled at the end of its lifespan.
