The scrollback chair is a type of Windsor chair that was mass-produced in the High Wycombe region of England from around 1850 to the early 1900s. The population of 19th-century Europe rapidly increased after the Industrial Revolution, and demand grew for small chairs to use at the dining table. In response to this demand, a new chair with an extremely small seat was developed in High Wycombe, the birthplace of Windsor chairs. The scrollback is the smallest and lightest Windsor chair; it also boasts a unique design for comfort, with two S-shaped back pillars and a crosspiece called a central stay, rather than a spindle-based backrest. It was called a scrollback because the tip of each back pillar was shaped like a spiral, and this design later had a great influence on Japanese folk-art furniture.

The TLSB chair is a scrollback chair whose name is an acronym for Triangular-Legged Scroll-Back, highlighting its unique design in which the back pillars, crosspiece, and rear legs are arranged in a triangle, and a rattan-covered seat frame is fixed on top of it. This innovative structure, which was conceived to ensure efficient material use and rigidity, has made the chair even lighter, evolving it into an easy-to-use furniture item that can be lifted with one hand. While boldly modifying the structure itself, we have retained and refined the original elements such as the central stay and scrolls, resulting in a design that feels like a fusion of classic and modern, Western and Eastern. The small seat, slightly high curved backrest, and unique appearance, which imparts a sense of volume, still feel fresh even after 150 years.
