As some of you know we have been spending quite some time at Miyazaki chair factory working on the new IS knock-down lounge chair, it is basically two cushions between two sides, but this simple definition does not reflect the workmanship and technical skills needed to also make it a durable piece of furniture, we actually went all the way back to the basic concept and modified a few things more than once to create a continuous line from concept to construction, the holes you see on the side is for modification and testing of seat and back (size and padding).

The armrest of the chair is something apart, we intended it to be perceived differently than the rest of the structure as it is the only wooden part you will have a close “relation” with, it truly was a joy to sculpture and we have a few in the studio just for hugging.

DC10 is an evolution in our works on contemporary furniture with references to both of furniture craftsmanship in a historical sense and modern production with all the possibilities this gives. This chair is either shell nor skeleton it looks like a stick structure but has only two surfaces, one outside and one inside meeting in a very sharp edge. As it has almost become our trademark the sculpturing of surfaces does not stop anywhere so letting your hands wander by the curves in the wood there is continuous shapes to be explored everywhere. We trust this chair to be a milestone in our furniture design and are curios to see how it will be received.

We love getting reconition for our works, whether it is in the form of somebody choosing to use our products in their home, or from the jury in a  major design price. So recieving a iF Gold Award for our chair DC09 produced by Japanese cabinetmaker Miyazaki isu is really sweet.

Thanks !
