Kola by finnish designer Mikko Laakkonen comes in a couple different variations but all are made out 100 % recyclable moulded polyester felt with an epoxy coated or chromed steel base. Smart use of materials combined with the chairs aesthetically pleasing and light way design is reason enough for me to write about the chairs. Perhaps not a chair for one’s home but it would look stunning in more or less any office, restaurant or lounge.

The Kola product family designed by Mikko Laakkonen has been granted the internationally recognised GOOD DESIGN Award.
The GOOD DESIGN Awards are admitted by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design together with
The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.

GOOD DESIGN was founded in Chicago in 1950 by the former MoMA curator Edgar Kaufmann Jr., together with
such pioneers in modern design as Charles and Ray Eames, Russel Wright, George Nelson and Eero Saarinen.
