Pinnockio - Designed by Yngve Ekström
Yngve Ekström was one of the most influential figures in Swedish furniture design during the 20th century. His design is based on a stripped-down and functionally rooted design idea, where the properties of the material and the logic of the construction are central. Pinnockio is a clear expression of this approach, with a form that combines visual lightness and structural stability.
What distinguishes the Pinnockio series
The Pinnockio series consists of chairs with a distinct character. Each chair is made of solid wood. The construction is stable and well-thought-out. The distinctive spindles in the backrest give the chair its name and visual identity. Pinnockio offers a comfortable seating experience. The chair's construction and proportions make it suitable for use in many different environments, both as a dining chair and as a freestanding seating furniture for daily use.
Materials and finishes
Pinnockio is primarily manufactured in solid birch or oak. Birch has a light color tone and an even grain, which provides a smooth surface well-suited for color treatment. In birch, the chair is available in several different colors. Oak is a harder wood with a more distinct grain and high resistance to wear.
The chairs are available with various surface treatments adapted for use and maintenance. Lacquered surfaces provide durable protection against liquids and dirt and are easy to clean. White-oiled surfaces preserve the wood's structure and provide a matte finish. Stained versions give the chair a specific color while the wood grain remains visible. The choice of wood type and surface treatment affects both the chair's appearance and its practical properties over time.
