About the Item

A sculptural rattan lounge chair designed by Isamu Kenmochi and manufactured by Yamakawa Rattan in Japan. This iconic design is distinguished by its smooth, organic form and tightly handwoven rattan shell, creating a warm, inviting silhouette. The deep, rounded seat and low profile embody both visual harmony and ergonomic comfort. A soft cushion contrasts beautifully with the natural tone of the rattan body, enhancing its timeless appeal. Kenmochi, a pioneer of Japanese industrial design, was instrumental in bringing traditional materials like rattan into a modernist context. Pieces like this exemplify his ability to merge Japanese craft sensibility with modern aesthetics. A unique piece that blends softness and functionality, this chair fits beautifully into both refined design collections and relaxed living spaces alike.
