Karuselli Lounge Chair - Artek

Karuselli is one of the most famous lounge chairs in the world. Kukkapuro began developing the fiberglass chair in the 1950s, reaching the famous shape in 1964. The international launch of this armchair took place at the Cologne Furniture Fair in 1965.

The shape of the Karuselli chair is the result of extensive experimentation. Kukkapuro spent four years sculpting it, searching for the right dimensions, initially using his own body as a guide. Karuselli is exceptionally comfortable and stylistically distinctive, precisely because it is ergonomically based on the shape and proportions of the human body. As a result of his persistent efforts, Kukkapuro finally achieved a form that represented a new combination of ergonomics, new materials and production methods, as well as artistic design. It was the combination of these qualities that made Karuselli a revolutionary armchair in its time. Since his first release, Karuselli has turned heads, captured taste, and given pleasure to those sitting in it.
