Oak Village Co., Ltd., a wood workshop at Hida Takayama, has released a new chair “Mori:to Chair” (read: Morito Chair) from June 26.
While following the style of the Windsor chair, we have developed a chair for everyday use that fits into the life of the Japanese people by using the traditional Japanese timber construction technique and selecting the right material in the right place.
The main materials used are Quercus and Chestnut, which are representative of the broad-leaved trees that grow in Satoyama. This product actively uses wood that has been cut down by self-logging forestry (*2) in Minakami Town (*1), Gunma Prefecture, in order to promote regional activation by utilizing wood.
*1 Minakami Town, Gunma Prefecture
A town located upstream of the Tone River, which is the water source of the Tokyo metropolitan area. It is certified as a UNESCO Eco Park.
*2 Self-cutting forestry
A sustainable small-scale forestry that is both profitable and environmentally friendly.
● Expressive “seat”
The seat surface is made of chestnut wood, which has a rich wood grain expression and feels good against the skin.
In addition, due to the appropriate unevenness of the engraved trace, you can get a comfortable seating feeling that is hard to slip.
●”Back” with flexibility
The backrest is made up of a spindle (thin rod), which makes it a simple and timeless chair for everyday use.
The main material is oak wood, which has both hardness and suppleness. When the body is entrusted to the back, its bending creates a unique sitting comfort.
●”light” wooden chairs
By selecting the right material in the right place without waste, the total weight has been reduced to about 4 kg.
