TRANSPARENCY Releases an All-Weather Transparent Chair Designed by "Noboru Seto, the Solitary Furniture Designer"
Acrylic furniture brand "TRANSPARENCY" has launched new furniture in collaboration with AD CORE DEVICE INC.!
For this new collection, they enlisted Noboru Seto, a designer with over 30 years of dedicated furniture design experience. His ergonomically designed pieces have consistently earned the support of professional users, including architects, interior designers, and interior coordinators, at AD CORE DEVISE INC. The new release is an ambitious endeavor that expands the technical possibilities of acrylic furniture production, not just in its form.
Transparent and Beautifully Textured. A New Collection Aiming for All-Weather (Exterior) Furniture
An organic design based on ergonomics that evokes a sense of "softness" and "warmth," while maximizing the material properties of acrylic for all-weather (exterior) furniture.
This new collection embodies Seto's design philosophy of "beautiful as a single piece, and unobtrusive even when a hundred are lined up," along with TRANSPARENCY's concept of "BLENDS IN EVERYWHERE." It is finished with a deep consideration for the role of furniture in spatial design and architecture, ensuring it blends seamlessly into any environment.
