'Beke' means 'peace' and 'to be connected to'. The Beke kitchen bar chair supports an ergonomic and aesthetic sense of peace, and helps the user to feel connected with the space at the kitchen bar. The chair is designed to be comfortable for extended periods of use, and the geometry of seat, backrest, and footrest are tailored with this in mind. The seat uses a number of interesting construction techniques, including steam bending of the back legs; custom forming of the unique ply seat; and special lamination and shaping of the backrest
