Furniture with a "Mochi-Mochi" Elasticity, Just Like Its Name


The product name "MOCHI" refers to the Japanese New Year icon, "mochi." True to its name, it is soft and can be used as a chair or ottoman.



Beyond its charming shape, what immediately catches the eye is the coloring, characteristic of designer Hella. While seemingly bold at first glance, the contrasting combinations are beautiful, creating a subtly calming impression. The knitted cover is removable and washable, showcasing meticulous attention to detail. It is available in five colors.











Perfect for sitting, leaning against, or simply admiring, this item is sure to become an accent in any living space. Why not experience the essence of modern design and craftsmanship that symbolizes Hella Jongerius's work, along with its delightful "mochi-mochi" elasticity? It is scheduled to arrive at hhstyle.com Aoyama main store in July.
