one of the new pieces is the 'hiroshima chair', a small chair which follows the same look as the
'hiroshima arm chair'. the design keeps in mind the texture of the wood used to finish the legs,
back frame and top rail of the seat which look as if they are seamlessly one piece. the thin upholstered
seat can be removed for easy maintenance.

You are so beautiful...!

The new chair is not new in form, but new in its essential form.
Not sure if it is possible to go further in the act of redesigning a super normal form.
