Claesson Koivisto Rune (CKR)

An ultra-light and visually slim all-wooden chair with the rare added benefit of being stackable. Seat and back are laminated veneer wood and the legs are solid wood, bevelled to triangular sections for strength, while remaining visually thin. Based on a prototype made while studying at Parsons School of Design in New York in 1992. That prototype received the ‘Forsnäs Award’ for best laminated wood design in 1995. A first commercial version was manufactured by Swedish Skandiform under the name ‘Lite’ 1999-2005. Refined and reproportioned as the ‘Clear Chair’ for E&Y Tokyo in 2007.
