The A.O (Artisan Object) chair has evolved over many years, following the Japanese practice of Senren, ‘continuous improvement’. A stainless steel 3 legged structure with handcrafted details, including the seat and backrest. A slimline leather cushion that fits perfectly with the seat curves is also available.
Handcrafted from the highest-quality Japanese Oak. The wood is prized for its dense, narrow annual rings and strength, its beautiful colour, lustre and mellow scent. Famously used in traditional Japanese architecture, including the 1300-year-old Horyu-ji temple.
YOSHIYUKI AND JUNKO HORIBE
Husband and wife team Yoshiyuki and Junko Horibe create their beautiful designs in their workshop, a renovated old Japanese house in the Gifu Prefecture of Japan.
Their work redefines time honoured Japanese design, taking traditional timbers and craftsmanship into a fresh new direction, open to the influence of international design. The timber they select not only has unique aesthetic qualities and fragrances but also benefits such as emitting compounds that have a relaxing effect.
They emphasise functionality in their work, carefully selecting and combining finishes and materials to create their designs.
