VAKO by Jouko Järvisalo

VAKO Stackable Wooden Chair
Design Jouko Järvisalo, 2008.

The Finnish word vako refers to a furrow, usually V-shaped in cross-section, tilled into a field for sowing purposes. This meaning is reflected in the shape of the Vako chair.

Vako is an ascetic, archetypal wooden chair, whose form is reminiscent of the simplicity of Finnish rustic furniture. Every part of the chair’s structure is carefully designed with efficient material utilisation and industrial production in mind.

The minimal inclinations of the seat and back create ergonomic comfort for the user and simultaneously add dynamism to the design.

The chairs are manufactured in Finland out of carefully selected solid wood, with carpentry skills honed through the decades. The chairs’ traditional joint techniques and structural details, particularly visible in the natural colours, enrich the meticulously finished effect.
