The Finnish Blood in Me by Sami Kallio, Stockholm Design Week

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 »

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.
