The Rento Chair by Ahti Taskinen is a bold fusion of Scandinavian minimalism and rustic inspiration, handcrafted for modern living. Originally conceived by Taskinen as an homage to “sitting on a pile of logs,” the Rento chair is as sculptural as it is functional. Its thick, blocky form doesn’t just stand out—it invites you in with a surprisingly soft, supportive cushion that cradles without collapsing. 

First crafted in pine, this newly reissued version opts for oak, delivering a more durable frame while enhancing the chair’s visual presence with beautifully exposed wood joints and a matte lacquer finish. Built at Fasetti’s Hollola workshop, the chair represents a return to craftsmanship and character in an age of mass production. 

Upholstered in luxurious Lauritzon fabric, with options in crisp white or a rich white/brown weave, and completed with leather arm straps in nude or cognac, the Rento is every bit the statement piece without screaming for attention. This isn’t just a chair—it’s an anchor point for your home, mood, and aesthetic.

With a seat height of 17.3” and generous proportions overall, it’s designed for lounging, reading, or sipping something slowly. Priced at $5,250 and made to order with a 12–16 week lead time, the Rento Chair is less a purchase and more an heirloom in the making—tailored for those who care as much about legacy as they do about comfort.
