REVIEW – SALONE DEL MOBILE & MILAN DESIGN WEEK 2024
Nostalgia and drive
The Salone del Mobile.Milano and Milan Design Week took place from 16 to 21 April 2024 – read our review to find out what moves the industry and the guests got to see.
It was inspired by the memory of a childhood kitchen chair in a northern European home. And starting with his family album, Antti Kotilainen has created OIVA, the splendid new kitchen chair by Lapalma. In Finnish, “OIVA” means “something good”. And goodness can be found, first and foremost, in its classic lines, made more contemporary, minimalist and light. The goodness, above all, lies in wood as the raw material, which is ash plywood from FSC-certified forests. Wood is used for the frame, the wide, enveloping backrest in bent plywood, and the seat, also bent, which can be padded and upholstered in fabric on request. Lightweight, stackable and ideal for the kitchen or living room, OIVA brings homely warmth to all public spaces.
