These armchairs perfectly embody the style of modernist Japanese design. Their bentwood frame creates a continuous line between the armrests and the base, giving the chair a soft and fluid silhouette. The generously padded seat, upholstered in textured red fabric, provides both comfort and understated elegance.

Here, Kenmochi revisits the forms of pre-war Japanese chairs with a decidedly modern spirit, typical of the 1960s and 70s. A beautiful synthesis of traditional craftsmanship and modernism.

Manufactured by Akita Mokko, circa 1965
