Circle around fantastic chair designs by Yrjö Kukkapuro, the legendary Finnish designer. MERRY CHAIR GO ROUND is the inaugural presentation of “Doing Donuts at the D.O.N.U.T.,” dedicated to a circular artistic approach with used design materials and vintage objects. The spotlight is on the edition “YRJÖ KUKKAPURO CHAIR A – 504 X YOU”.

For this edition, still in progress, international artists and designers contribute unique pieces for re-upholstery or structural interventions on vintage chairs. The result is a playful spatial lineup of chair pairs and objects.

The D.O.N.U.T. is a new space for ventures in art and design, initiated by UNDEND architects and KOSKILUOMADAVIDSON and functions as a perpetually evolving mockup showcase.
