About Tie Bank

Tie huwa bank tal-injam iddisinjat biex żewġ persuni jpoġġu ħdejn xulxin. Is-sedil u d-dahar huma minquxin bl-idejn minn blokka solida tal-injam, għalhekk ma jintużaw l-ebda injam mgħawweġ, kuxxini jew molol. Pjanijiet tal-idejn u skieken tradizzjonali Ġappuniżi jsawru l-kurvi u jżommu s-sbuħija naturali tal-injam viżibbli. Id-dahar ikkurvat jippermetti li żewġ persuni bilqiegħda flimkien jistrieħu qrib xulxin. Tie huwa adattat għall-ikel, għall-qari bis-saqajn miftuħa, jew biex wieħed jimtedd f'pożizzjonijiet differenti. Il-forma attwali tlestiet fl-2020 f'Tokjo, il-Ġappun.

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.
Project Duration: The "tie chair 2020" in its current form was completed in 2020 after repeated model changes since 2013. It is manufactured in Tokyo, Japan.
Operation Flow: The tie chair can be used in the same way as a standard wooden bench.
