Räsy represents a harmonious collaboration bridging two generations. Paavo, an 82-year-old carpenter from Kemiönsaari, joins forces with Moona, a Helsinki-based artist and designer, to explore the realm of functional design.
Youthful
The project began with a straightforward idea: creating sustainable seating only using waste materials such as textiles and wood.

RÄSY CHAIR
Timeless
For the textile components, recycled clothes like denim and other durable fabrics that are otherwise challenging to recycle are repurposed. This approach makes the chairs not only completely ecological but also unique art pieces.
The unifying element in our Räsy chairs is the Nordic-style wood framing. These frames are a true testament to traditional woodworking methods, crafted entirely from 100% recycled wood by Paavo. We value tradition and aim to emphasize timeless wisdom and heritage through each piece.
