About the Item

A refined and sculptural lounge chair born from the visionary collaboration between Daisaku Cho and Junzo Sakakura—central figures of Japanese modernism. Produced by Tendo Mokko, this sculptural lounge chair was conceived for low, relaxed seating that harmonizes with both traditional Japanese interiors and contemporary spaces. Its distinctive sled-base design is crafted from beautifully shaped wood, supporting a generously curved seat and backrest, upholstered for comfort and longevity. The form not only offers visual lightness but also protects delicate flooring such as tatami — a thoughtful fusion of function and aesthetics. The Teiza Isu remains highly sought after by collectors worldwide. Its timeless silhouette and warm materiality allow it to integrate effortlessly into modern living rooms, reading corners, or gallery-style interiors, making it still relevant today.
