These armchairs perfectly embody the style of modernist Japanese design. Their bentwood structure creates a continuous line between the armrests and the base, giving the armchair a soft and fluid silhouette. The seat, generously padded and covered in a textured green fabric, provides comfort and sobriety.
Kenmochi here revisits the shapes of pre-war Japanese chairs, in a resolutely modern spirit, typical of the 60s and 70s. A beautiful synthesis between artisanal tradition and modernism.
Edition: Akita Mokko around 1965
Provenance: Hotel in Hokkaido, Japan
