The U Chair was created from the desire to design a seat that allows you to lean back deeply, feeling gently enveloped by the backrest even while dining. Its name “U” comes from the distinctive shape of the backrest when viewed from above.
The textured upholstery contrasts with the leather. The upholstery in the seat cushion, padded backrest and backrest piping detail is customisable to suit requirements.
Handmade to order by artisans in Gifu, Japan.
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.
