SPLINTER Armchair (Wooden Seat)

The arms and legs, which were designed to appear as though they are peeling and “splintering” off from the back, have a semicircular shaped component that gives an overall light, easygoing impression.

A collection designed by Sato Oki of nendo, SPLINTER’s unique characteristic is its flowing form. 

In addition to the upholstered or wooden seat type, there is also an available Shell Type, which is a singular back and seat unit in cushioned upholstery. This provides added comfort for those who desire a cushioned back.
