The In Between series, composed of chairs and tables, was created by Sami Kallio with the assumed desire to pay homage to the history of Scandinavian design and its masters, in particular Hans J. Wegner, whose Wishbone chair is quite visible in the In Between chair.

The two SK11 and SK12 tables, for their part, take up the minimalist grammar of Danish Design tradition, where "less is more" makes it possible to magnify natural materials.

Sami Kallio

Sami Kallio was born in Finland and raised in Sweden, where he honed his skills in traditional woodworking craftsmanship, such as compression moulding and woodturning. An award-winning designer with a studio based in in Gothenburg, Kallio designs furniture and interiors translating classical shapes into contemporary expressions with an industrial aesthetic which resonate with a modern-minded audience.

Man and machine both play a role in many of Kallio’s creations. Merging modern methods of industrial manufacturing with handcrafted techniques. The result is a refreshing balance between the past and the present.

The In Between chair and table offer a wink to the past in a timeless design with a focus forward. The interplay between positive and negative space is central to the concept, where forms are created by the shape as well as gaps in between. "This series fuses tradition with revolution, one of the founding principles at &Tradition," notes Martin Kornbek Hansen. "The crafting techniques and use of wood are steeped in our Nordic heritage. An important aspect of our designs which we are keen to keep alive."
