Nikari AKADEMIA LOUNGE Oak easy chair with armrests

The Akademia Lounge extends the Akademia series with a more relaxed character, reinterpreting the dining chair as a generously proportioned lounge chair in solid oak with upholstery.‎ The original Akademia chair was the result of Master’s Thesis work at Aalto University by a member of the Kaksikko team; Wesley Walters.‎ It is a fascinating combination of different cultures – simplistic Shaker style, Japanese design traditions, and Finnish craftsmanship heritage.‎ “The Akademia Lounge translates the form language of the original Akademia dining chair into a generously proportioned lounge chair in solid oak and upholstery.‎ Its oversized dimensions and bent back legs lend the chair a relaxed character suited to extended sitting, from domestic interiors to hotel lobbies.‎ The solid oak backrest highlights Nikari’s long-standing expertise in solid wood construction.‎” – Kaksikko MATERIALS Oak SURFACE FINISH Oak, natural wood oil mix Light oak, lacquered Smoked oak, lacquered UPHOLSTERY OPTIONS Akademia standard upholstery Soft seat upholstery Soft seat and backrest upholstery Further info from manufacturer on AKADEMIA LOUNGE Nikari
