The Saji Chair is a furniture piece designed by Laura Kishimoto. She is currently pursuing her BFA in Furniture Design at the Rhodes Island School of Design. The designer’s aim is to create spatially complex pieces through intensive handwork and material studies.
Inspired by geometry, the Saji Chair is a product mainly made of ash veneer bent-laminated wood with a metal frame. Kishimoto showed a lot of skill in terms of mastering and controlling the material: she managed to bend the wood seamlessly in order to create a beautiful abstract form that looks very avant-garde. The form of the chair offers not only a unique design, but also, great comfort and freedom of body movement for the user. The designer kept the metal frame very sleek and simple, placing it wisely in order to give the chair stability and support.
Artistic yet simple, daring yet inviting – we believe that the Saji Chair will find its place in numerous modern, design-conscious homes.
