It's befitting that Kari Virtanen was the man to produce the piece that acts as a beautiful tribute to the craft of great design, given that he's the founding father of Nikari, and one of the greats of contemporary design. The Nikari Storia Bar Stool is a true showcase for the art of furniture-making, with its simple lines and uncomplicated silhouette providing complete insight into the timeless craft of natural materials. A low stool version is also available.
