Produced by Nikari's in-house craftsmen from locally sourced oak, the Akademia Chair embodies the very best of Scandinavian design, acting as a showcase for the sense of simplicity in form, expert use of raw materials, and effortless flowing lines that are synonymous with the form. The light chair works equally well as a stand-alone occasional chair or when used in multiples around a dining table, seating guests in unparalleled comfort and style.
