Unique Worlds Beyond Conventional Concepts Embodied in the RINN Chair




The "RINN" chair, characterized by its supple, beautiful lines that flow seamlessly, was designed by Taiji Fujimori and launched in 2011. By aligning the wood grain of the veneer in a single direction and finishing it with exquisite detail, the chair achieves a harmonious blend of flowing wood grain and a flexible frame line, offering a beauty unattainable with conventional molded frames.


Despite its slim appearance, the chair offers stable seating, with the curves of the backrest and armrests providing a comfortable fit to the body.
The easily removable and precisely fitted seat covers, along with the comfortable grip and lightweight feel, have also garnered high praise.
