Yrjö Kukkapuro Ateljee Armchair with Zebra Upholstery, 1960s

Designed by Yrjö Kukkapuro in the 1960s, the Ateljee series has become one of the most iconic works of Finnish modernism. This armchair showcases Kukkapuro’s mastery of combining clean structural lines with bold, expressive materials.

The frame is crafted from birch plywood with round legs, supporting deep cushions upholstered in a striking black-and-white zebra fabric. The result is a piece that balances playful personality with timeless Scandinavian design both a functional seat and a statement object.
