The Design

About Birdcage Fonction principale : Chaise

Texte du livre : Inspirée du filigrane de bambou Suruga, un artisanat traditionnel de la préfecture de Shizuoka, cette chaise capture sa beauté intemporelle dans un design contemporain. La structure élancée mais robuste en acier permet à la forme souple d'envelopper délicatement le corps, éliminant la froideur inhérente à l'acier et créant une impression évoquant la dentelle. De plus, l'assise au fini miroir reflète un autre monde, renforçant la présence de la chaise. L'acier est également un matériau respectueux de l'environnement, avec un taux de contenu recyclé de près de 100 %. Ce produit est façonné à partir de tels matériaux par des artisans hautement qualifiés.

Unique Properties
Inspired by Suruga bamboo filigree, a traditional craft of Shizuoka Prefecture, we have translated its timeless beauty into a modern chair. It achieves a slender yet robust structure unique to steel, its suppleness gently enveloping the body. Furthermore, the mirror-finished seat reflects another world, making this chair's presence truly memorable. Moreover, steel is an environmentally friendly material with a recycling rate of nearly 100%.
