Birdcage Chair

Birdcage

Inspired by Suruga bamboo filigree, a traditional craft from Shizuoka Prefecture, this chair captures its timeless beauty in a contemporary design. The slender yet robust structure of steel allows the supple form to gently envelop the body, eliminating the coldness inherent in steel and creating an impression reminiscent of lace. Furthermore, the mirror-finished seat reflects a different world, enhancing the chair's presence. Steel is also an environmentally friendly material with a nearly 100% recycled content rate. This product is crafted using such materials by highly skilled artisans.
