About the Item
This chair, "April," was designed by Uchida Shigeru.
This chair was designed by him in 1981, and was later produced with a slight change in size.
This chair is an early model and is believed to have been produced in the 1990s.
It is a wonderful design that creates a beautiful S-shaped curve when the two chairs are connected.
As one of Japan's leading designers, Uchida Shigeru has been active in a wide range of fields, not only in spatial design for commercial and residential spaces, but also in furniture and industrial design and regional development.
Together with Kuramata Shiro, who was active both domestically and internationally at the same time, they led the Japanese interior scene.
They are also known for having been in opposition to the minimalism of Donald Judd and the Italian architecture of Aldo Rossi from an early stage.
This chair has rust and scratches due to aging, but it does not affect the use of the chair.
The seat has been reupholstered in recent years.
This is a valuable vintage chair.
