TONBO
DESIGN BY KENSAKU OSHIRO, 2022

The designer, Kensaku Oshiro, creator of the iconic Holo and Holo Pillar tables, has now designed a collection of seats inspired by Japanese aesthetics and cabinet—making. The signature feature of the chair and armchair is a backrest with organic lines that rests delicately on the frame, like a dragonfly — “Tonbo”, in Japanese. The special rounded joints are what creates this delicate effect. The frame is made of solid ash wood whereas the seat is padded and upholstered in fabric or leather.
