Sami Kallio

Designer

Göteborg / Sweden

Born in Helsinki in 1975, Sami Kallio is a Finnish designer raised in Gothenburg, Sweden, where he moved at the age of two and where he currently resides. He attended the high school carpentry program and studied fine arts for two years before pursuing bachelor's and master's degrees in design at the School of Design and Crafts in Gothenburg. During his studies, he had the opportunity to rediscover his Finnish roots during an exchange program in 2004 at the School of Arts, Design and Architecture in Helsinki. His dual cultural roots underpin his work that combines "the melancholy of Finnish design with the humour of the Swedish tradition", as Kallio himself says. Combining modern industrial production methods with handcraft techniques, Kallio designs furniture and interiors that bring classic forms into the contemporary era, merging them with an industrial aesthetic.

In 2009, Kallio founded the Gothenburg-based furniture company Brikolör which produces furniture guaranteeing technical durability of three hundred years. In 2011, he founded Sami Kallio Studio and launched his first collection, The Finnish Blood in Me, presented at the Stockholm Furniture Fair that same year. Among his best-known projects is the In Between collection of wood furniture developed for the Danish brand &Tradition, a perfect example of how his work combines the solid knowledge of traditional woodworking with ingenious detail. The first member of his design family, a chair, has been joined over the years by tables, coffee tables and stools that share the main focus of the In Between collection: the interaction between positive and negative space, between solids and voids. If chairs and tables are his main fields of investigation (designed chiefly for &Tradition and Hans K and Crassevig), Kallio has also produced several lighting projects, including the Bolb table lamp for the Swedish brand Konsthantverk. ...
