Aino

Aino started in Copenhagen with one idea: a piece of furniture should outlast the trend it arrived with. We choose makers who still build to last, and we sell what we would keep ourselves.

We started by asking a simple question: why does so much furniture get thrown away? The answer, usually, is that it was never built to last in the first place — glued instead of joined, foam instead of down, a finish that means well but wears through in a year.

So we went looking for the makers who still do it the hard way: solid joinery, natural materials, workshops where a single chair can take a week to finish. Malmsten in Stockholm. Tacchini and Miniforms in Italy. Stolab in Småland. New Works in Copenhagen. Every one of them has been doing this for longer than we've existed, and it shows.

We don't carry everything they make — only the pieces we'd want in our own homes, and stand behind for as long as you own them. Every piece is inspected before it reaches you, and every purchase comes with a two-year warranty.

Butterfly armchair in tan leather with a black steel frame

Made to be used, not just owned

A Pampa Mariposa chair is built in the forests of Småland from Italian leather and Swedish steel — the kind of construction that is meant to be sat in for thirty years, not admired for three. That's the standard every piece in our catalogue is held to.

It's a slower, costlier way to build a chair, and it's the only way we're interested in selling one.

Pigreco armchair with plywood frame and upholstered seat

Design that outlives trends

Tobia Scarpa drew the Pigreco armchair in 1959. Tacchini still builds it today, from the same plywood frame and the same idea: that a good shape doesn't need updating. We look for that quality in everything we sell — furniture that will still make sense in your home in another sixty years.
