The Y5 Chair is named after the five upside down Ys used to form its subtly intricate backrest. A stunning contemporary design, the Y5 Chair is at once simple and funky, even with the detail of its back support. The clean and slim silhouette gives it an airy feel while the bold colors gives them an urban appeal, both of which many modern individuals will appreciate.
Created by Finnish designer Sami Kallio, the Y5 Chair is made out of ash wood and a metal frame. Recently launched at Salone in Milan, it is conveniently and practically stackable. It is available in three models. With each one, it is the bottom and top portions that are tweaked.
