Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the Karelia Chair and when?

The Karelia was designed by Finnish designer Liisi Beckmann in 1966 and has been produced by Zanotta ever since. Beckmann was one of few women working at the forefront of Italian radical design during that period.

What is the Karelia Chair made of?

The Karelia is constructed entirely from polyurethane foam with no internal frame. The form itself provides structural support, with the upholstered cover shaping the wave-like silhouette.

Is the Karelia Chair comfortable despite lacking a frame?

Yes. The frameless construction is precisely what makes it comfortable. The continuous polyurethane form is shaped to distribute weight through contour and volume rather than rigid support points.

What design movement does the Karelia belong to?

The Karelia is associated with the Pop and Anti-Design movements of 1960s Italy and Europe, which challenged conventional notions of furniture construction in favor of sculptural, often provocative forms.

How does the Karelia fit into a contemporary interior?

Its organic silhouette reads well against both minimal and expressive interiors. The updated fabric covering makes it adaptable, while the form itself carries enough presence to anchor a room on its own.
