kattotuolit

Kattotuolit is a Finnish term formed from katt, meaning “roof,” and tuoli, meaning “chair.” In standard Finnish usage, it is not a common everyday word and does not denote a fixed category of furniture in mainstream catalogs. The term may appear in design discussions or as a product name, but it does not have a universally agreed-upon definition.

In architectural or interior design contexts, kattotuolit can be used descriptively for chairs intended for roofed or elevated spaces, such as rooftop terraces, balconies, or overhead-mounted seating solutions. Because there is no formal, widely adopted specification, interpretations of what constitutes a kattotuoli vary by author or brand. If used as a product label, it may refer to outdoor- or weather-resistant seating designed for variable conditions and compact spaces.

Given the lack of a canonical definition, references to kattotuolit should be checked against the specific source for clarity. Etymology derives from katt (roof) and tuoli (chair). See also: furniture, outdoor furniture, roof terrace, interior design.
