Two 419 Chairs by Yrjö Kukkapuro for Haimi

A striking pair of Model 419 chairs designed by the Finnish designer Yrjö Kukkapuro (1933-2025), showcasing the designer’s unmistakable approach to functional modernism and sculptural form.

Designed in the late modernist period, the 419 chair is a confident expression of Kukkapuro’s exploration of molded materials and ergonomic seating. The flowing white plastic shells contrast beautifully with the tubular steel bases, creating a light yet architectural presence that works equally well in a dining setting, home office, or as statement side chairs.

This listing includes two matching chairs, one with a fixed seating pad, making it an ideal set for collectors of Scandinavian design or anyone looking to add authentic Finnish modernism to their interior.
