Seminar KVT2 was born when customers wanted to have a stackable version of the smaller-sized KVT1 chair. The chair’s silhouette is thoroughly clear and reduced, and the harmonious proportions are complemented by delicate wooden joints. The chair can be equipped with a linking device, seat upholstery, acoustic plate underneath the seat and even a hymn book holder. Available in birch, oak and ash.

The name Seminar refers to the collection’s uses and origin. The Seminar chair was originally developed as a model piece for a seminar when Nikari’s founder, master cabinetmaker Kari Virtanen gave a lecture for design students on traditional wooden chairs and wanted to concretise his ideas. Besides seminar halls, all items of the Seminar collection are ideal for a wide variety of public spaces.

Kari Virtanen

Kari Virtanen has been involved with the design and construction of furniture since the age of 14 years old. Beginning as an apprentice to a carpenter, he later founded his own workshop at the age of 19, working with some of Finland's biggest designers such as Alvar Aalto and Kaj Franck. Virtanen's workshop became Nikari, one of Finland's highly respected furniture manufacturers. Based in the village of Fiskars, the factory is Finland's oldest furniture manufacturing plant, a suitable location both for Nikari's longstanding reputation, and Kari Virtanen's ethos of high-quality furniture that is built to last.
