The Design
About Birdcage 椅子
呢張椅嘅設計靈感嚟自靜岡縣傳統工藝——駿河竹千筋細工,以當代設計手法呈現其永恆之美。纖幼而堅固嘅鋼材結構,令柔美嘅形態溫柔咁包裹身體,消除咗鋼材本身嘅冰冷感,營造出宛如蕾絲般嘅印象。此外,鏡面拋光嘅座面映照出另一個世界,更加突顯咗呢張椅嘅存在感。鋼材亦係一種環保物料,回收再用率接近百分之百。呢件產品正係由技藝精湛嘅工匠,運用呢啲物料精心打造而成。

- 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%.
