Thau & Kallio

Thau & Kallio is the result of the collaboration between Danish designer Jakob Thau and Finnish designer Sami Kallio, two designers united by a common passion: elevating traditional craftsmanship through innovative industrial processes. Their approach is based on a subtle balance between technique, form, and materials, challenging the conventional boundaries of contemporary furniture. The combination of their expertise allows them to develop pieces of great formal precision, where each component serves an essential aesthetic and structural function.

One of their signature projects is the Yksi chair, which embodies their design philosophy: optimization, material honesty, and timeless beauty. Drawing on a close examination of Scandinavian heritage, Thau & Kallio create furniture that celebrates sophisticated simplicity and the value of detail. Their work demonstrates how creative collaboration can generate objects that combine the warmth of tradition with the ambition of a contemporary and refined design vision.
