Designer


These stackable stools, model 202, created by Isamu Kenmochi, a key figure in post-war Japanese design, perfectly reflect his minimalist and functional aesthetic. Kenmochi was one of the founders of the Japan Industrial Designers and collaborated with Isamu Noguchi from the 1950s.

The stools feature a structure in dark-stained solid beech, paired with a restored seat upholstered in Lido fabric by Nobilis.

Lightweight, stackable, and functional, they embodie the perfect blend of modernism and craftsmanship.

Manufacturer: Akita Mokko (sticker).
