Founded in 1923, Imaeda is a small family-run workshop renowned for premium steam-bent rattan furniture. These pieces were never mass-produced but created in limited batches using traditional hand-binding techniques. Because of this, surviving examples are increasingly scarce — and finding an original matching pair is particularly rare, making this set highly desirable for collectors and design-focused interiors. The low seating position and circular, nest-like frame reflect traditional Japanese floor living combined with organic mid-century modern aesthetics. Lightweight yet remarkably durable, the craftsmanship is both refined and sculptural. Placed together, the chairs create a strong architectural statement — ideal for Japandi, minimalist, wellness or high-end residential spaces. Rare collector’s pair – offered together.
