Description
The Piena chair brings the traditional spindle chair into the modern age, combining minimalist design, ergonomics and high-quality natural materials. The flexible spindles of its backrest follow the back of the sitter, enhancing seating comfort and making it a long-lasting favourite at the dining table.
The chair's frame is made of durable solid birch, with a clear lacquer finish that enhances the beauty of the material and makes it a timeless choice for any interior. The backrest spindles are bound at the top with a natural-shade regenerated leather strap made from recycled surplus leather, a detail that gives the chair both unique elegance and durability.
Thanks to its lightweight construction, the Piena chair is easy to move from place to place and can be used in both modern and traditional interiors. Winner of the GOOD DESIGN® award, the Piena chair is designed to stand the test of time and use, offering comfort and aesthetics in one package.
Pair your Piena with our Front dining table. The available options are oak-black 140 cm / 195 cm, oak 140 cm / 195 cm or pine-black 140 cm / 195 cm.

Wondering if this is the right choice for you?
Keep browsing to discover the story behind Piena chair - where and how it's made, how it fits into your home, and what others are saying about it.

Where the idea for Piena chair came from?
"Spindle back chairs have long been popular as dining chairs in the home. The trend is still going strong, but not many new ones have been made, and there's a reason for that. The original designs have become such a powerful archetype that it's hard for designers to ignore them. I took up the challenge and set out to make a chair that would offer the Finnish people something new in this genre and in interior design."
-Tapio / Designer

Designing the Piena chair
"I've always tried to bring a new practicality to my furniture. It's harder to do that with chairs. The problem with spindle back chairs is that they are hard on the back. At first I tried a chair where the spindles were just attached at the bottom and would bend. Then I began to wonder if that was too radical. Then I came up with the idea of connecting them with a leather strap and, on top of that, I got a whole new look."
-Tapio / Designer
Piena chair in use
"The design of the chair is very minimalist, but on the other hand it has its own character. It is also small and light. This makes it a great dining chair for smaller dining rooms or kitchen corners. And why not for larger and more open spaces where weightlessness is required, when you don't want to block the view, for example. Its comfort makes it a chair for long evenings."
-Arja / Interior Architect

A story behind the Piena chair
"When we demonstrate the chair at live events and tell people about the flexibility of the backrest and how comfortable it is to sit in, we see a slight look of disbelief on many people's faces. After that we usually ask them to try it out. Then the expression changes to one of positive surprise, followed by a broad smile."
-Severi / Product Manager
"Traditional spindle back chair stays always relevant"

Ordering and delivery of the Piena chair
"You can easily order this chair from our online shop and it will be delivered to your home free of charge. It comes in either natural birch or a black stained option. We aim to keep this chair in stock at all times, so delivery is quick. If you have any questions about delivery or anything else, please send us an email or give us a call."
-Mia / Business Controller
Manufacturing the Piena chair
The chair is manufactured locally in Estonia in our carefully curated contract manufacturer's factory. The method is a combination of serial production and craftsmanship. Machines are needed to make the wooden parts, but the finishing is a collaboration between the human eye and hand. The wood material is carefully chosen to suit the chair.
Appreciated by professionals
The chair has been awarded the international GOOD DESIGN award. The jury's attention was drawn to the unique design, which brought new design to this demanding category. In addition, the innovative design enhances sitting ergonomics and improves people's daily lives.

The GOOD DESIGN Award is the world's oldest and most prestigious design award, founded in 1950 by architects Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames and Edgar Kaufmann, Jr. and The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design. The purpose is to find and reward the best design from around the world every year. This coveted prize is awarded annually by an international jury appointed by the museum, which selects the award-winning products from among thousands of designers and brands in different product categories.
Every year, the museum prints a book and organizes an exhibition of the award-winning products.
Piena -tuolit ovat sirot ja kauniit mutta samalla tukevat ja mukavat istua. Ne koristavat sulavasti vanhaa ja jukevaa ruokailupöytää.
Uusi tulkinta perinteisestä pinnatuolista. Kaunis ja kevyt. Täydellinen pienehköön keittiöömme.
Olen tosi tyytyväinen tuoleihini,ovat juuri sellaiset kuin halusin.Hankin ne lasitetulle eteläparvikkeelleni ja nyt heräsi
kysymys miten ne pärjäävät auringossa ja talvella siellä.Toivoisin saavani vastauksen tähän.ystävällisin terveisin Eeva
Hei Eeva,
Kiitos palautteestasi ja kiva kuulla, että olet tyytyväinen tuoleihisi!
Piena-ruokapöydäntuolit on tarkoitettu sisäkäyttöön, joten niitä ei ole testattu ulkokalusteiden vaatimusten mukaisilla testeillä. Lasitettu parveke antaa kuitenkin jonkin verran suojaa, mutta voimakas ilmankosteuden vaihtelu voi ajan mittaan vaikuttaa massiivipuisiin rakentteisiin. Tuolien liitokset on kuitenkin vahvistettu ruuveilla, jotta ne pysyisivät tukevina pienistä kosteusvaihteluista huolimatta.
Suosittelemme seuraamaan tuolien kuntoa vuodenaikojen vaihtuessa ja olethan yhteydessä, jos jokin herättää huolta. Autamme mielellämme tarpeen tullen!
Erittäin kaunis ja upea tuoli. Täydensimme lisätuolilla jo aiemmin ostettua ruokailuryhmää.
Tuoli on siro ja kevyesti siirreltävä. Kivan näköinen. Itselläni osa tuoleista on keittiön aamiaisnurkkauksessa ja osa ruokapöydän (Front desk) ääressä ruokailutilassa, johon myös keittiön tuolit voi siirtää tarvittaessa.
Tuolin selkänojs myötäilee kivasti selkää, joustaa ja hieman hierookin. Hyvä istua, mutta pitkälle, isommalle ihmiselle istuinosa saattaa olla pienen oloinen.
