PRODUCT STORY: KAWARA ARMCHAIR
In 1997, when Ronan Bouroullec first visited Japan, he bought a beautiful book called ‘Yanagi Sori’. The book, which still remains his favorite, introduced him to a piece of furniture designed by Yanagi and crafted by one of KOYORI’s manufacturers.
The manufacturer of the chair specializing in plywood is one of the most well-known furniture makers in Japan and has been creating wooden furniture for over many decades. Kawara Armchair leverages the full potential of plywood and its charm lies in the three-dimensionally curved backrest and armrest crafted from plywood.
The innovative design and the solid structure, coupled with precise manufacturing technology created this elegant and versatile chair. Even in the form of the simplest and most pure shape of a box, you can still appreciate the soft and gentle curves of molded plywood, meticulously and precisely connected together with the four simple legs to form a complex yet beautiful piece.
