For the Five furniture collection, we developed a shape that combines a circle with a pentagon. This iconic form never needs to be lined-up with the rest of the furnishings within an interior. It is inherently flexible as well as having a distinct and memorable shape.
The series of furniture items – an armchair/chair, a stool, dining and coffee tables, a coat stand, a clothes rail and bench, are all linked together through the use of this five-sided motif – like an indelible signature. Uncompromisingly made in solid wood, by the best Japanese craftsmen.
