Kvarter was founded by three trailblazing individuals who took an oblique approach to furniture. Surrounded by work of Finland’s best designers and students at Aalto University, we noticed that modern furniture has lost the roots of great design and ethical manufacturing. Naturally, we could not ignore that retail furniture lack excitement. They may hold your weight, but not your values. We knew it would be possible to push the industry and do better.  

We spent years on learning about the design and manufacturing of furniture. Then we built, tested, adjusted, and built again, and again (and again), until everything made sense and met our expectations. Now, we take responsibility for every piece we make, how it feels, how it ages, and whether it deserves a place in someone’s home. Combining creative design methods with modern manufacturing capabilities, we only deliver pieces that are truly special.
