Billiani
White 134
The White chair is inspired by sixties Nordic design, in addition to acknowledging both the strong and uncompromising aesthetics of its designer, Harri Koskinen, as well as the legacy of Billiani’s Green chair, which it also resembles through the choice of name. Both have generous shapes and four-centimetre thick legs, but White is even more robust: a chair with a reassuring presence, for all contexts where sturdiness and comfort are essential.

Billiani
We have produced wooden chairs in Italy for over a century, in a region of small specialized workshops where the culture of wood has deep roots.
The Billiani company was founded in 1911 to produce chairs in curved wood with caning. In 2019 Cristina Celestino, an architect and designer based in Milan, was appointed as the company’s artistic director. The chair is still a central focus, as is the material: wood, the true leitmotif of the collection.
Harri Koskinen
Harri Koskinen was born in Karstula, Finland, in 1970 and studied at the Lahti Design Institute and the University of Art and Design Helsinki. His breakthrough came in 1996 with the Block lamp, now held by MoMA in New York, and in 2000 he founded his design agency, Friends of Industry.
He won the Compasso d’Oro in 2004 for the Muu chair, was design director of Iittala from 2012 to 2016 and has worked with Artek, Hermès, Issey Miyake and Marimekko. For Billiani he designed White in 2018, chairs and bar stools inspired by 1960s Nordic design.
