NUPPU Armchair
Production Finsoffat
Design Jukka Jokinen & Heikki Konu
True to its name, NUPPU armchair reflects a blossom that gradually opens. The comfortable seat, soft boucle upholstery and the curved shape of the backrest create a wonderfully chic piece of furniture. Nuppu is designed to bring softness, comfort and natural harmony to your home. Its plush seat invites you to relax, and the rounded design fits perfectly into a modern interior.
“Working with designers Jukka & Heikki for the second time has once again been an inspiring and rewarding experience. They truly listened to our wishes and had a deep understanding of our production capabilities. The new armchair reflects their thoughtful design approach — combining aesthetics, functionality, and manufacturability in a way that makes it efficient to produce right here at our factory in Kerava, Finland.”
Jarmo Honkanen, CEO Finsoffat
DESIGN PROCESS
Sketching
The sketching is usually done by hand and is based on creative thinking and ideation. We like to consider many options and make a lot of drawings first and then narrow down the options to find the best idea concept.
3D modeling
We have excellent knowledge of the use of modeling programs and product drawings are created with the help of editable 3D models. In 3D modeling, the shapes and exact details of products, different components and materials can be precisely defined.
Image rendering
Before a product really exists, we can create rendered images by 3D modeling and rendering the product concept. This way the customer can see how the finished product would look before the first prototype is created.
3D Printing
We use our own 3D printer to create models of product concepts. This benefits the design work and can be used to show how the dimensions and other features of the product actually look like.
Production
The Nuppu armchair is manufactured at the Finsoffat factory in Kerava, Finland. The chair represents Finnish quality craftsmanship and local production at its best.
Habitare 2025
NUPPU armchair received wonderful feedback at its launch at the Habitare 2025 fair.
Visitors were drawn to its inviting, rounded shapes and soft appearance and many highlighted how exceptionally comfortable it felt to sit in. It was great to see how warmly people responded to the design!
