Chair - Kanji

The Kanji chair represents a sophisticated reinterpretation of classical Japanese seating principles, meticulously engineered to balance traditional aesthetics with contemporary ergonomic requirements. Each chair incorporates authentic joinery techniques including hand-cut mortise and tenon connections, providing exceptional structural integrity without mechanical fasteners. The precisely calculated seat angle and height reflect extensive anthropometric research, ensuring optimal weight distribution and postural support during extended periods of use. The distinctive backrest features subtle compound curves that conform to the natural spinal alignment while the traditional proportional relationships have been carefully preserved. Select hardwoods are chosen specifically for their grain characteristics and structural properties at critical stress points. The surface preparation involves multiple hand-sanding stages progressing through increasingly fine abrasives to achieve exceptional tactile quality. The finishing process employs traditional oil applications that penetrate deeply into the wood fibers, enhancing the natural beauty while providing superior protection. This chair demonstrates the perfect synthesis of cultural authenticity and functional excellence, creating a distinctive presence that transforms ordinary living environments into thoughtfully curated spaces. The Kanji's architectural presence serves as both functional seating and sculptural element, embodying the Japanese principle of practical beauty in everyday objects.
