One of Liisi Beckmann’s most celebrated works is the Karuselli lounge chair, designed in 1964. Revolutionary in both form and comfort, this futuristic chair exemplified her ability to blend ergonomics with avant-garde aesthetics. With its sculptural fiberglass shell and luxurious upholstery, the Karuselli remains a landmark piece in modern furniture design, featured in museums and high-profile collections worldwide.

Beyond furniture, Beckmann’s portfolio extends to lighting and interior design, where she employed bold shapes, organic curves, and unexpected materials to craft pieces that remain timeless. Her dedication to pushing the boundaries of conventional design continues to inspire contemporary designers and collectors alike.
