Crafted in bamboo with laminated and painted wood elements, the design achieves a remarkable lightness—both visually and structurally—while delivering a deeply comfortable, floating seat.

The interplay between warm organic texture and crisp architectural line is quintessential of the period. Bamboo introduces flexibility and strength, while the laminated framework provides rhythm and stability, allowing the cantilever to perform with quiet confidence.

Sculptural from every angle, the chair reads as functional art: equally suited to a serene interior, a design-forward living space, or a curated collection of postwar modernism. A distinctive example of Japanese experimentation with material, movement, and form.

Good overall condition with light-moderate wear throughout in the form of scratches, scuffing and finish unevenness. Structurally sound. See less
