Chairs that require intricate craftsmanship, such as "wood joinery" and "cantilevered structures" for strength, as well as "carving" curved forms to achieve organic shapes, are not suited for mass production by industrial machinery. However, when crafted by skilled artisans, these chairs attain lifelong durability and an unparalleled beauty that sets them apart.
Recognizing that the ultimate chair finds its origins in the Ming dynasty, Nordic masters deeply pursued its philosophy, creating numerous masterpiece chairs throughout their lifetimes. Inspired by this modern historical anthem, chairs continue to be crafted worldwide. The A-4 is an ambitious work that uniquely interprets this legacy, bringing it into the modern era as a refined product of contemporary design.
The armrests are shaped like a bird's feather at the perfect height for the elbows. This angle, where the elbow joint extends outward and sits lower than the wrist, is key to ensuring comfort and proper ergonomics.
The "step" at the tip of the armrest is key to allowing comfortable finger movement. Its design is said to determine how long one can sit comfortably in the chair.
The sharp finishing of the armrest’s outer edges beautifully highlights the chair’s silhouette, elevating its presence.
Chairs often break at stepped edges. This technique smooths those areas, improving the overall strength and durability of the chair.
Tilting the rear legs backward and the front legs forward improves stability and evenly distributes weight.
The armrests are carefully slimmed, made possible by dense hardwoods like walnut. Some sections are carved out to create a light feel, while maintaining generous seating comfort for a surprising user experience.
The joint between the legs and the base is kept thick, while other areas are finely carved down. Non-structural sections are carefully reduced to the minimum, contributing to the overall lightness of the chair.
A-4 combines strength, lightness, and comfort, with a design that follows function. Its organic form fits the body, reflecting the idea of 'designing without designing.'
