Sami Kallio Jakob Thau

“We created Yksi on the basis of the very best craftsmanship aiming to optimize the design and aesthetics of a classic "chair" to the simplest possible combination of the parts from which a chair is made.”

Thau & Kallio specialises in combining artisanal design with innovative industrial production techniques. The duo consists of Danish Jakob Thau and Finnish Sami Kallio. The driving force behind the duo is their shared love of excellent craftsmanship and an intense curiosity to seek out new materials and challenge conventional componentry. Through this passion, they explore new ways of creating visionary, yet well-regarded furniture designs.
