Nara Dining Chair

The initial concept for the ‘NARA' series was to create minimal structure while providing a maximum level of comfort. Shin Azumi wanted to express the sculptural beauty of solid timber and create comfortable furniture from a simple wooden structure. Thus the NARA series pays homage to traditional Scandinavian design while at the same time creating a new aesthetic language of its own. When designing the NARA chair, the top edge and vertical supports of the backrest besides the spine are defined as the most important structure to get the best level of comfort and to create maximum support. All superfluous material from the backrest was then removed. The "horns" of the backrest provide the perfect place to hang a jacket, bag etc. Width: 495mm Depth: 530mm Height: 835mm Seat Height: 435mm
