CW, an abbreviation for ‘combination wood’, is a series that reflects the designers’ ambition to redefine the use of Japanese woods. The body of the chair is made of stable, voluminous Himekomatsu (Japanese Pinus Thunbergii) from Gifu Prefecture, which scientific research has shown emits compounds that have a relaxing effect.
By freely arranging the three sections, it can be used as a chair, sofa, or daybed. The sitter can relax by placing a zabuton-like cushion on the low seat. Removing the cushion allows the sitter to enjoy the texture of the wood.

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.
