Joki is Finnish for river, which inspired the bench’s form. Its contours of varying heights and widths allow various sitting postures for both children and adults of all shapes ans sizes. Each Joki set consists of four seats although several sets may be joined, as both of its extreme ends are modular. The bench’s seats may also be used independently. Without giving too much away, Joki comes in a rich lacquer finish.
Although it is a heavy piece of furniture ( 1/4 ton), its dynamic curves have a sensual aesthetic that fits the contours of the human body perfectly. What is also amazing about the design is that the form was carefully designed into modular pieces that have similar layouts at their ends, making them easy to recombine no matter which which way or by which piece you start with.
