Tou in Japanese means rattan. The Tou Arm Chair is part of the designers’ ambition to create a long-lasting chair that combines both functionality and refined, elegant design. The lowered leather arms makeit easy to slide the chair under a table for convenient storage.

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.
