BAIA CHAIR
Design by Kensaku Oshiro, 2021
As a tribute to Danish furniture design, the Japanese designer Kensaku Oshiro
has created a chair, which, in the most distinguished way, unites Danish and
Japanese design aesthetics. The inspiration from a bay is embodied in the
smoothly curved C form of the wooden backrest, which lies tangentially on
the top of the elegant steel frame and gives a warm and soft contrast to the
steel and leather components.
The construction of the steel frame has a fine balance between the thin vertical
lines of the tubes and the distinct horizontal elements. Each leg has a small round
finish, and the width between the front legs is wider than between the back legs,
which brings symmetry to the chair and gives it a harmonious and characteristic
look. The solid wood backrest is manufactured by using a special steam bending
technology, and both the backrest and the frame have been sanded by hand.
The soft, upholstered seat provides a high seating comfort and is available in
both leather and fabric.
The diverse features of each component are perfectly balanced in the design
and gives the chair a refreshing lightness and a unique, renewed appearance.
