Kristalia 2022: TONBO
Kensaku Oshiro has designed the "Tonbo" chair for the Italian furniture manufacturer Kristalia, whose backrest refers to a shy creature of nature.
Designed by Luca Nichetto, Tenso is a system comprising padded items inspired by tensile structures. The core of the system is its frame, a light and sturdy tubular structure to which the various elements are fixed – seats, backrests, cushions and tabletops, between which a tension is created that keeps the various parts suspended and open, like a welcoming embrace. The padded items, which can be combined as required to create sofas, sofas with a peninsula element or a pouf, also with built-in tabletops, are soft and comfortable, whereas the upholstery in fabric or leather features tailored details. The element with a reclining headrest offers extra comfort to those who love reading or watching TV.
