Chair for Koma.Co.,Ltd
The tie chair 2020 is carved with the concept a chair that helps couples get along. The curve of the backrest is designed in such a way that when two people sit side by side, their bodies naturally snuggle together. As a seating for dining or to kick up your feet to enjoy your favorite book, it should suite any desired situation comfortably. Facing each other or side-by-side, the idea is to provide a format-less space allowing for people to be comfortable as they please.

chair, bench, furniture, wood, Japan, Tokyo, craftsmanship
Usingtraditional Japanese hand tools, the beautiful lines of our furniture are individually hand carved, and not bent, to showcase the natural beauty of wood. We don't use automation machines, but we are developing them as a product.
It is a chair that requires daily training and skill as a craftsman. From the first model to the current model, it took us seven years to create the current model. The chair is not only beautiful, but it is also very comfortable to sit in and to touch.
The "tie chair 2020" in its current form was completed in 2020 after repeated model changes since 2013. It is manufactured in Tokyo, Japan.
The tie chair can be used in the same way as a standard wooden bench. You can sit comfortably with your legs stretched out, or you can lie down and assume various positions.
Every part of the product should have a meaning.It should have an excellent function.This is the ultimate in simplicity.We believe that the pursuit of simplicity results in beautiful design.
The tie chair 2020 is carved with the concept a chair that helps couples get along. Furniture meant to rest one's body, we believe the chair's height and angle of the seating and coping boards, the strength to withstand weight and body movement and other components allow for infinite possibilities. We feel that pursuing the beauty of the chair, to all intents and purposes, is as important as the function it serves. We want it to satisfy the space and time we spend on it to be elegant and meaningful. As a seating for dining or to kick up your feet to enjoy your favorite book, it should suite any desired situation comfortably.
