    Naoto Fukasawa poured over many details in order to perfect a product that was comfortable, light, and durable at the same time.

    Part of the KOTAN series, designed with the goal of producing “next generation, long-life products.” Though simple in appearance, creating a chair that is stackable, easy to move, and provides comfortable support, is quite difficult to actualize. Made with Japanese Ash wood, KOTAN is perfect for residences, stores, office spaces, or anywhere a bright, round, airy design is desired.

    Advanced techniques shine through this chair’s simple design. The curved backrest is made of stacked sheets of wood, and bent using modern moulding technology. CondeHouse techniques prioritize low-waste construction to preserve our limited resources, as well as give increased strength. The characteristic wood grain of Japanese Ash also shines through.

    Upholstered Seat: Take in the beautiful design and sitting comfortability of this cushioned seat. The prominently round contours of the wooden frame are neatly upholstered by CondeHouse technicians without a single wrinkle, highlighting their exquisite skill.

    CondeHouse, craftsmanship that shares Japanese esthetics with the world. 🌱

    • Handmade

      CondeHouse combines a judicious material selection with traditional handcraft & computer-aided production technology, succeeding in allowing nature to live on in a new form.

    • Sustainability

      Sustainability is built into the enduring visual and tactile longevity of all of CondeHouse products. What’s more, they’ve been planting oak trees on their own land since the turn of the millennium in an attempt to replace the natural resources they use.

    • Buy Better, Buy Less

      With each piece taking weeks to complete, it's made to last a lifetime. Or, rather, three lifetimes – materially, constructionally and in terms of its design. Let's embrace buying better and buying less - it's beneficial for humans and the planet.
