Cushion and Seating Design | Kivikko | Designed By Studio Suppanen
Invitingly soft in shape, Kivikko serves both as a chair and as a headrest, as a seat and as a cushion. There are three sizes of Kivikko that can be put together to form seat or cushion groups on the floor, or on a sofa or bed. Children can build Kivikko cabins, fortresses, or snowman-like beings from their own imagination. The roughly spherical cushions also encourage adults to play and experiment; Kivikko is indeed a very social furnishing item, a tool, from which it is easy to approach other people.
The removable covers of Kivikko are made from Marimekko's dirt-repellent upholstery cotton, and come in single colour black or white, or in a dotted perky pink-red version of the “Pirput parput” pattern (Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi).........more
