A shell-type chair made with two-layer configuration and the capacity for different upholstery types on the front and back sides. In creating EIGHT, designer Jin Kuramoto sought to produce a chair that would draw people in with utmost comfort and beautiful aesthetics. In addition to the plush, supportive seat, this chair gives a lasting, rich impression from its solid wood frame of delicately varying thickness, inspired by the shape of the number “8.” The configuration of the back, in particular, is a result of Kuramoto’s persevering attention to detail and the excellent capabilities of our technicians. Enjoy the smooth, luxurious touch of solid wood and a feeling of being comfortably enveloped. Strong and durable, ideal for corporate spaces.
