The Experiment Chair is an iconic seating design originally created by Yrjö Kukkapuro in 1984 and reintroduced by Hem. The Experiment Chair merges a bold postmodern expression with a strong focus on ergonomics, featuring integrated decorative motifs and a choice of distinct armrests that form part of the chair’s identity. Its sculptural silhouette and considered seating geometry position the Experiment Chair as both a visual statement and a functional lounge piece.

Designed to work equally well as a standout object in a living space or as a defining seat in curated interiors, the Experiment Chair embodies Kukkapuro’s lifelong devotion to prototyping, human-centred design and material exploration. Hem’s reissue of the Experiment Chair seeks to honor the original spirit of the design while making it accessible to a contemporary audience. The Experiment Chair remains relevant for those who appreciate furniture that balances comfort with artistic expression, offering a memorable presence and a direct link to the design history of the 1980s.
