Price History
Description
Created by Finnish designer Mika Tolvanen, the Visu chair is a modern take on the famous bent plywood chair, a great classic of contemporary design. It took no less than two years of work to achieve this fluid form and user-friendly design, during which its designer and manufacturer continuously reworked its edges and curves: “Visu” is Finnish for “precision’’! Functional and ergonomic, it is perfect both around a dining table and in front of a desk. Discreet and timeless without being boring, it fits perfectly in all environments, both private and public. Designer Mika Tolvanen: "The idea behind the Visu chair was to create an elegant, simple interpretation of the archetypal plywood chair. I wanted the design to have a sober, timeless character, capable of bringing a feeling of modern familiarity to any room, combined with a comfortable seat in moulded plywood. Designing the chair as a family of seats all linked aesthetically but which can be used for different functions was a study on the adaptation of a design to its environment and a process which lasted almost two years. The Visu Chair is a new perspective on the traditional wooden chair, echoing the idea of Scandinavian design combined with modern expression. ‘’.
Our Stylist Says
I love this chair for its clean, modern aesthetic combined with natural warmth from the wooden legs. It works particularly well in minimalist or Scandinavian interiors, where its simplicity complements both neutral tones and subtle textures. For styling tips, consider pairing it with a light wood dining table or adding colourful cushions for a pop of colour and extra comfort. Its understated design makes it versatile, so it can also be used in offices or as an occasional chair in living spaces, blending effortlessly with a range of interior styles. Practical and stylish, it’s a reliable choice for creating a calm, balanced dining or sitting area.
