He made use of materials that were readily available in Finland in the 1940s, such as solid birch. During the 1950s, he began to develop multipurpose chairs made of steel tubing and plywood. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIlmari Tapiovaara designed Kiki in 1960. It was originally conceived as a chair whose stackability allowed it to be used to seat large groups. In the Kiki series, Tapiovaara employed a more clean-cut design idiom instead of the more organic style he had favoured previously. Instead of wood, he chose oval steel tubing as the structural and unifying element of the whole Kiki collection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKiki was a success, establishing the current direction for furniture design at this time. Kiki’s timeless and elegant design aesthetic has made it one of the most popular pieces of public furniture in Finland.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artek","offers":[{"title":"Square | 60 x 60cm","offer_id":56798719050108,"sku":"ARE-28303305","price":637.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rectangle | 100 x 60cm","offer_id":56798719082876,"sku":"ARE-28303306","price":723.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0032\/4966\/8207\/products\/artek_twentytwentyone_kiki_side_table_black.jpg?v=1644966596","url":"https:\/\/www.twentytwentyone.com\/products\/artek-ilmari-tapiovaara-kiki-low-table","provider":"twentytwentyone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
