Artek Kiki Sofa
Originally designed in 1960 by Ilmari Tapiovaara, the Artek Kiki Sofa is a refined example of modernist Finnish design. Part of the wider Kiki collection, it reflects a move towards a cleaner, more structured aesthetic, defined by its distinctive oval steel tube frame.
The result is a sofa with strong architectural lines and understated character. Its compact proportions and graphic silhouette make it equally suited to reception areas, waiting rooms, breakout spaces and other professional interiors.
Still made in Finland, the Kiki Sofa remains a benchmark of practical, timeless design.
Please note: this product is available for commercial use only and does not comply with UK home/domestic fire regulations.
