ストーリー
Designed for student rooms
Tapiovaara developed Lukki for the dormitories of the Helsinki University of Technology, giving the chair a practical context from the outset. Its short arms address both desk work and dining.
A Finnish name
Artek explains that “Lukki” means “daddy longlegs” in Finnish. The name accompanies a lightweight, hardwearing construction that pairs a tubular frame with formed plywood components.
