Reader Submitted: An Armchair that Pays Subtle Homage to the Kimono

The Kimono Armchair is a piece of furniture that explores the formal essence of the traditional Japanese clothing.

The fluency of the kimono’s textile, the horizontal panel that wraps around the torso and the covering of the human body are all aspects considered when aiming to reach a specific grade of mimesis—halfway between immediate evidence and excessive distance.

Different production techniques gather to result in a coherent, elegant and harmonized lounge seat that aims to pay tribute to the kimono.
