About Tie Bank
Tie is een houten bank ontworpen voor twee personen om naast elkaar te zitten. De zitting en rugleuning zijn met de hand uit een massief blok hout gesneden, dus er wordt geen gebogen hout, kussens of veren gebruikt. Traditionele Japanse handschaven en messen vormen de rondingen en houden de natuurlijke schoonheid van het hout zichtbaar. Dankzij de gebogen rugleuning kunnen twee personen die samen zitten dicht bij elkaar rusten. Tie is geschikt voor dineren, lezen met gestrekte benen, of liggen in verschillende houdingen. De huidige vorm werd in 2020 voltooid in Tokio, Japan.

- 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.
You can sit comfortably with your legs stretched out, or you can lie down and assume various positions. - Image Credits
