Designed by Kensaku Oshiro

Kensaku Oshiro’s design is grounded in the innovative bentwood techniques introduced to Japan in the 1910s. Inspired by craftsmen using a “Nanjing kanna” plane to refine bentwood, Oshiro preserved the marks of this process to capture the beauty of handcraftsmanship. The chair features a shell-like seat with flowing frames and warm wood textures, blending historical techniques with contemporary design. This fusion creates a visually stunning and functional piece, showcasing Oshiro’s dedication to craft and innovation.
