Mini Kilta Desk Chair by Olli Mannermaa for Martela | Finnish Design Classic in Ivory Leather
A mid-century icon, reinterpreted for the 1980s. Originally designed by Finnish architect Olli Mannermaa for Martela, the Mini Kilta was one of the world’s first commercially produced plastic shell chairs — and this later upholstered version brings warmth and tactility to the pioneering form.
With its tilt-swivel base, gently flared arms and compact footprint, it remains a favourite in design-led studios and home offices alike. This rare vintage example is finished in smooth ivory leather and sits proudly on a five-star base with castors.
