Snarkitecture and Made by Choice create chairs shaped like mountains

Chairs with irregular edges by Snarkitecture for Made by Choice.

You never know quite what to expect from the team at Snarkitecture, a Brooklyn-based studio whose mission is to ‘reimagine the familiar’. Its work spans both product design, art installations and interiors, while recent projects have included the likes of bubblegum pink screens with cut-out silhouettes for Cos, a ghostly table lamp for Kartell, and a pool-shaped ball pit for the National Building Museum in Washington DC.

Now the studio, led by artist Daniel Arsham and architects Alex Mustonen and Benjamin Porto, has looked to Scandinavia for inspiration for their latest furniture collection, ‘Lieksa’ (launched during New York Design Week 2024), and more specifically to Finland and its renowned tradition of bent plywood furniture, pioneered by Alvar Aalto in the 1930s.
