The Kai collection by LaPalma

LaPalma Kai includes stacking chairs and an adjustable stool by Shin Azumi.

Folded plywood shells sit on slender metal supports, with wood finishes, seat pads or full upholstery depending on the version. The chairs come with or without armrests on four stainless-steel legs. The pedestal stool swivels and adjusts from 54 to 79 cm, carrying the same folded-back design into indoor counter and bar-height seating.

Who designed the Kai collection?

Kai Collection was designed for LaPalma by Shin Azumi.

What pieces are in the Kai collection?

Three pieces: Kai S38 Chair, Kai S38P Chair and Kai S39 Stool.

Can I see LaPalma Kai in person?

We show LaPalma by appointment at both showrooms — Royal Oak on Woodward and Troy at the Michigan Design Center. Call ahead and we'll have samples and finishes pulled and waiting.

How long do Kai orders take?

Made-to-order pieces typically ship from the factory in 12–16 weeks.

Why don't I see prices on the pieces?

Kai is configured — size, material and finish all move the number. Request a quote and you get one written price that already includes delivery and installation.
