Tokyo Design Week 2008: 100% Design Tokyo - Chairs
by sabine7 / November 13, 2008


There was a strong showing of chairs and lighting at this year's edition of 100% Design Tokyo. Among the many examples of innovative chair design were the Ouch! by Yutaka Yanagisawa, Bambi chairs by Books, and Moya Moya Hiroshi Yoneya. The Balloon by Ken Yokogawa is a very inviting piece of seating with a huge down-filled cushion, Tessen by Tetsutaro Nakabayashi is an interesting perch, and Pocket #3 by Katsuhiko Togashi was one of the sleeker finds. Akiro Soga showed Circolo, there were chairs from Pure Austrian Design, and Hover by Masaki Takayama. Masaki Imamura and Nahoko Sakuma showed the Mchair & Wchair and Noboru Inove featured the Awaza dining chairs.

I like the sleek look of the Masaki Takayama chair
the design and concept is great
it is an adaption from a similar looking chair but still a great twist.
