Designer
Pair of armchairs designed by Isamu Kenmochi, circa late 1960s.
These armchairs perfectly embody the style of Japanese modernist design. Their beech bentwood structure creates a continuous line between the armrests and the base, giving the piece a soft, fluid silhouette. The seat, generously padded and reupholstered in a woven red fabric.
Here, Kenmochi reinterprets the shapes of pre-war Japanese chairs with a distinctly modern spirit, typical of the 1960s and 70s. A beautiful synthesis of traditional craftsmanship and modernism.
