Sukiya Serenity
The star of the show is the molding under the seat. The design is inspired by the facade of sukiya style architecture. It is characterized by a linear composition of square timbers. The wooden parts under the seat create an intentional space, and the light shining through the gaps accentuates the texture and color of the wood. This structure brings calmness and lightness to the space, and the chair itself is designed to accentuate the space.

The A' Furniture Design Award is an international, meritocratic, just and fair design prize that recognizes outstanding design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
