背のアーチが印象的なMaruu side chair. 丸みを帯びたこのサイドチェアーは、柔らかな印象と共に、背を横にして腰掛けたり様々な座り方を許容してくれます。Black ver.は木酢酸鉄を使い、木材に含まれるタンニンと反応させることで、通常のブラック塗装よりも、木目や道管がしっかりと残る美しいブラックの仕上がりが特徴です。
Maruu Side Chair with a Striking Arch Backrest. This side chair, with its rounded form, not only gives a soft and inviting impression but also allows for various sitting positions, such as reclining against the backrest or sitting sideways, offering flexibility and comfort. The Black ver. uses iron acetate, which reacts with the tannins naturally present in the wood, resulting in a deep, rich black finish that retains the wood grain and vessels, unlike typical black paint finishes.
This is my first collection, themed "It's not sophisticated, but it has a certain charm." The Japanese word "yabottai" ( 野暮ったい ) often carries a negative connotation, but I've chosen to reinterpret it positively, transforming it into something endearing. While allowing a hint of human touch, I embrace the quirky nuance that draws people in, even if it isn't stylish in the conventional sense. I blend simple yet catchy forms with the atmosphere created by materials and textures, presenting them as a hybrid of functional furniture, such as chairs and cabinets, and artistic objects.
