Design ConceptbyKohei Wada
BIWA aspires to resonate with human emotions through a timeless design that transcends typical task chair aesthetics.
More than ever, offices are evolving into vibrant spaces where ideas and collaboration generate new value. It follows that furniture design should also evolve beyond the conventional notion of “office furniture.”
The soft silhouette, reminiscent of a lounge chair, features a separate shoulder rest that appears to float in space, creating a magical focal point. The embracing form draws inspiration from the shape of the traditional Japanese instrument biwa, from which it takes its name, and Japan’s Lake Biwa, where the chair is produced.
