DESIGN NAME: Tie
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Chair
INSPIRATION: The tie chair 2020 is carved with the concept a chair that helps couples get along. Furniture meant to rest one's body, we believe the chair's height and angle of the seating and coping boards, the strength to withstand weight and body movement and other components allow for infinite possibilities.
We feel that pursuing the beauty of the chair, to all intents and purposes, is as important as the function it serves. We want it to satisfy the space and time we spend on it to be elegant and meaningful.
As a seating for dining or to kick up your feet to enjoy your favorite book, it should suite any desired situation comfortably.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: It is created by carving a solid block of wood with a knife in order to achieve perfect seating comfort. This expresses a level of comfort that cannot be achieved with bent wood, cushions or springs. Japanese hand tool planes and knives are essential for this.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The tie chair can be used in the same way as a standard wooden bench.
You can sit comfortably with your legs stretched out, or you can lie down and assume various positions.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The "tie chair 2020" in its current form was completed in 2020 after repeated model changes since 2013. It is manufactured in Tokyo, Japan.
