Harri Koskinen was born in 1970 in Kartsula, Finland, and studied at the Institute of Art and Design in Helsinki. His practice spans product and spatial design and is defined by practicality, restraint and a conceptual approach. In 2009 he launched his own collection, Harri Koskinen Works. His recognition includes the Compasso d'Oro (2004), the Pro Finlandia Medal (2007) and the Kaj Franck Design Prize (2014). For Billiani he designed White (2018), a chair that revisits the Nordic design of the 1960s through contemporary production techniques. The leg thickens from the customary three centimetres to four, and the forms are generous and softened, giving a familiar type new weight. Made in stained or lacquered ash, White is offered as a side chair and an armchair, with an optional upholstered seat applied directly over the wooden seat.
