About this product
Architonic ID: 1246678
Year of Launch: 2013
Celebrated Japanese studio Nendo – founded by Oki Sato in 2005 – is known for its minimalist designs, whose reduction belies the consideration and innovation they reflect.
The Splinter Armchair, which comes in three versions – wood seat, upholstered seat, and full shell – is no exception. ‘We splintered each piece of wood as though peeling it away,’ says the designer, resulting in backrests that elegantly divide to become both armrests and legs, and create a harmonious whole. Respecting the material, Nendo went with the grain, so that the wood would retain its original pliancy.
The shell version of SPLINTER offers even greater comfort for users, while maintaining the chair’s pared-down aesthetic.
Concept
nendo completes the SPLINTER- collection with a reinterpretation of the chair. The new chair SPLINTER SHELL combines the absolute minimalist design of the series with outstanding seating comfort. Another highlight of the design minimalists by Oki Sato.
