About the Item

Rattan sofa designed by Isamu Kenmochi and manufactured by Yamakawa Rattan. Circa 1960s. No restorations or modifications have been made. The rattan on this chair is broken in only one place. However, there is no other major damage, and it is in very good condition considering how old it was. This chair is a very old and delicate work of art. Of course, it is strong enough to sit on, but as it is an old product, please handle it with care. It has a "Yamakawa Rattan" sticker. It is extremely rare to find one with the original sticker still in place. This rattan chair was designed by Isamu Kenmochi in 1960 for "Hotel New Japan", a pioneer of modern hotels. In order to create this curvaceous beauty, high technology based on many years of experience is required. They were made by "Yamakawa rattan", an old Japanese rattan manufacturer.
