“I tried to express the beauty that is only achievable with wood, taking a minimalist approach. The texture of wood; warmth, softness and hardness, scent, and lightness… are realized with different processing techniques such as yosegi (mosaic woodwork), mageki (bentwood) and kumiki (assembling wood without clasps). This reflects why this chair’s details are also very minimal. I believe this piece embodies the Japanese aesthetics in multiple perspectives.”
