The In Between chair was the first chair to be added to the &tradition stable of furniture and Kallio has reinterpreted certain aspects of the chair in the creation of the table. The curvature of the circular table is for example reminiscent of the negative space in the form of the chair’s backrest. Similarly the angles of the legs of the table reflect the angles of the chair legs.

The table legs were created using woodturning, a traditional technique that uses a lathe to shape wood. For &tradition a connection to the past is an essential component for any item in the collection. “Wood turning is a result of my love for Scandinavian heritage and traditional wood crafting,” says Kallio,“there is a satisfaction that comes from using old techniques.” The materials used for the table further solidify a link to the past. The solid oak used is a sturdy, reliable wood that is steeped in Scandinavian heritage. “Oak is a good long-lasting material that people can easily relate to,” says Kallio.
