KOTAN Bar Chair (Upholstered Seat)

Advanced techniques shine through this chair’s simple design.

Part of the KOTAN series, designed with the goal of producing “next generation, long-life products.” Naoto Fukasawa poured over many details in order to perfect a product that was comfortable, light, and durable at the same time. Made with Japanese Ash wood, KOTAN is perfect for residences, stores, office spaces, or anywhere a bright, round, airy design is desired.

The curved backrest is made of stacked sheets of wood, and bent using modern moulding technology. CondeHouse techniques prioritize low-waste construction to preserve our limited resources, as well as give increased strength. The characteristic wood grain of Japanese Ash also shines through.

Upholstered Seat: Take in the beautiful design and sitting comfortability of this cushioned seat. The prominently round contours of the wooden frame are neatly upholstered by CondeHouse technicians without a single wrinkle, highlighting their exquisite skill.

Bar height chair/stool: The front stretcher is available in Japanese Ash or hairline stainless steel. Long, slender legs extend outward from the seat, providing an overall sense of lightness. While a relatively simple stool, it is filled with flawless design prowess in places such as the metal fittings and the construction of the underside of the seat, and exudes a sense of “everyday beauty” sought after by the designer.
