With In Between, designer Sami Kallio has designed a chair for And Tradition whose central point is the play between positive and negative space. The backrest and sides provide a stable shape and good support, but shapes are also created by empty spaces. The slightly sloping backrest and seat are balanced by the dynamically shaped legs, making In Between a design seat that fits into any interior.The high stool, like the chair, is a manifesto of the designer's know-how and craftsmanship in woodworking. The production of the In Between stool requires modern industrial processes and manual intervention, creating a harmony between innovation and tradition. A very nice product for design lovers.
