Blue "Scheletro" Two-Seater by Kari Asikainen, P. O. Korhonen Oy, Finland, 1980s
This “Scheletro” two-seater chair/loveseat by Finnish designer Kari Asikainen could not be mistaken for any other model thanks to their unique, anthropomorphic design. Very rare, probably custom blue colour.
Designed in 1987, this model is considered to be a post-modern Finnish design classic. The blue wooden seat raised on metal feet has a skeletal shape, presumably inspiring the name as well. The design is whimsical, yet ergonomic, with seat- and backrest that support the human body. The futuristic look is enhanced by the visible bolts. The Finnish manufactory, P. O. Korhonen's speciality was wood pressing, with which, for example, the seat parts could be pressed into a wide variety of shapes. The unique technique is very visible, showcasing a variety of interesting shapes and lines.
This chair belongs to the Scheletro Collection that Kari Asikainen designed in 1987 for the furniture factory P. O. Korhonen Oy. The factory was known as a manufacturer of furniture made of bent and moulded wood, primarily designed by Asikainen and Timo Saarnio. The company was jointly owned by Martela and Artek.
