About Tie Ban

Tie se yon ban an bwa ki fèt pou de moun chita youn bò kote lòt. Sèj la ak dosye a taye alamen nan yon blòk bwa solid, kidonk yo pa itilize okenn bwa koube, kousen oswa resò. Rabo ak kouto tradisyonèl Japonè yo bay koub yo fòm epi kenbe bote natirèl bwa a vizib. Dosye koube a pèmèt de moun ki chita ansanm rete pre youn lòt. Tie bon pou manje, li ak janm yo lonje, oswa kouche nan diferan pozisyon. Fòm aktyèl la te fini an 2020 nan Tokyo, Japon.

The chair is not only beautiful, but it is also very comfortable to sit in and to touch.
Research: Every part of the product should have a meaning.It should have an excellent function.This is the ultimate in simplicity.We believe that the pursuit of simplicity results in beautiful design.
Inspiration: The tie chair 2020 is carved with the concept a chair that helps couples get along. Furniture meant to rest one's body, we believe the chair's height and angle of the seating and coping boards, the strength to withstand weight and body movement and other components allow for infinite possibilities.
We feel that pursuing the beauty of the chair, to all intents and purposes, is as important as the function it serves. We want it to satisfy the space and time we spend on it to be elegant and meaningful.
As a seating for dining or to kick up your feet to enjoy your favorite book, it should suite any desired situation comfortably.
