PRODUCT STORY: MUSUBI ARMCHAIR
The design of Musubi Armchair emphasizes the beautifully yet efficiently sculptured parts of wood. The backrest, arms, and the seat are all like sculptures, assembled as one in a unique curved shape.
The manufacturer of the Musubi Armchair specializes in solid wood bending techniques and is one of Japan’s oldest and most well-known furniture manufacturers. They have a legacy of over hundred years of creating wooden furniture. The rich organic shaped back and armrests are connected in a unique way that resemble knots. Hence the name Musubi, which means “tie” or “knot”. These joint technique with high precision, also contributes to maintaining the chair’s durability.
“The chair was inspired by the sensation I felt when I first touched the arm of the Yanagi Chair by Sori Yanagi. I wanted to express the beauty and sensual quality, in which a chair is pleasant not only when you sit in it, but also when you touch it. It is not just a good-looking chair; it also makes you happy when you touch it," says Ronan Bouroullec.
