JRA Lounge
- Designed by: Jenni Roininen
- Made by: Nikari
- Colors: black
- More Info: nikari.fi
Nikari, established by cabinetmaker Kari Virtanen in 1967, is a company dedicated to using wood in the clean, classic, Nordic tradition, manufacturing its entire collection in Finland. At this year's Habitare fair in Helsinki, new introductions included the latest work from Jenni Roininen in her JRA lounge series. We believe the JRA3 sofa without armrests might function a bit more like a bench in your living room but it's beautiful, either way, and the rest of the site is chock full of stunning stuff.
