Helsinki Chair

Classic Classroom Design Meets Colourful Cool: Say Hello to Helsinki!

The Helsinki chair is your classroom essential, designed with little learners in mind. From day care centres to kindergartens, this classic chair design is a must-have for any early learning environment. With a perfect 305mm seat height, it’s made to suit the smallest of students, providing comfort and support as they explore, create and grow.

Whether it’s snack time, story time or a hands-on art project, the Helsinki chair is here to offer reliable seating that looks as good as it feels. Its classic design and thoughtful construction make it a timeless piece for any space, blending seamlessly into the rhythm of a busy classroom.

Built to Last with Birch Plywood Brilliance

Like the rest of our early learning furniture range, the Helsinki chair is crafted from durable birch plywood. Known for its strength and natural beauty, birch plywood is the perfect choice for the high-energy environment of childcare centres and preschools. It can handle all the daily action and movement, standing strong through playtime, learning and the inevitable tumbles that come with it.

And let’s not forget—it’s sustainably sourced, meaning you’re choosing not only a durable, functional product but also one that supports an eco-friendly future. It’s built to last, and to last responsibly!

Stack ’Em Up! Convenience is Key

What’s better than a sturdy, aesthetic chair? One that’s also easy to store! The Helsinki chair is conveniently stackable, making it a breeze to clear away and create extra space when needed. Whether you're prepping for a big activity or tidying up at the end of the day, these chairs stack neatly and efficiently, ensuring your classroom stays organised and clutter-free.

So, when space is tight, the Helsinki is right—easy to store, easy to stack, and always ready to go when your little learners are.

A Pop of Personality: Add Some Colour to Your Classroom

Why stick with plain when you can have playful? The Helsinki chair comes with legs in a sleek black powder coat as standard, but for those wanting to inject a little extra colour into their classroom, we offer three vibrant alternatives: Wedgewood Blue, Pale Eucalypt and Territory Red as custom orders. 

Whether you're creating a calm and coordinated space or looking to add a bold pop of personality, there’s a colour to suit every classroom theme. Mix and match them for a fun, dynamic setup, or keep things cohesive with a single shade—the choice is yours!

Made for Small, Mighty Learners

The Helsinki chair’s 305mm seat height is designed to perfectly fit young children, making it comfortable and accessible for toddlers and pre-schoolers alike. Its size promotes proper posture and allows for independent use, giving kids the confidence to sit down and get back up without a hitch.

From building block castles to practicing their ABCs, Helsinki provides the perfect perch for every part of their day. Its simple, functional design keeps children focused and comfortable, while the sturdy legs ensure stability no matter what activity they’re engaged in.
