Stockholm 2011: Finnish designer Sami Kallio presents a collection of furniture, including these stools with legs shaped like lolly sticks, as part of the Greenhouse at Stockholm Furniture Fair this week.
Other pieces include a wooden chair with twisted steel backrest and a lamp comprising a metal shade hung with leather over a bent wooden arm.
Called The Finnish Blood in Me, the range is inspired by design details Kallio remembers from his childhood in Finland.
The Greenhouse presents up-and-coming individual designers and design schools at the Stockholm Furniture Fair, which continues until 12 February. See all our coverage of the event here »
Here's a little text from the designer:
THE FINNSIH BLOOD IN ME
A collection inspired, and interpreted of childhood memories from Finland.
The armature – WORKSHOP is a reminder from all the workshops and the STOOL from the department store that we visited.
A collection where material and detail are in focus.
Nothing strange or conceptual, just memories and function.

Innovative modern design, great multi-functional pieces which can find their own corner in a small or even a large living space.
They can be the main piece or only complete the modern design of the room.
The chair is nearly good, but oddly complex and unresolved.
the stool is fantastic! Quite original aesthetic – which is difficult to achieve.
does it not remind of the bouroullec steel wood series?
yeah right, because its made out of steel and wood?
the chair is really nice but the layering of the backrest destroyed it. overdone
