Simple Beauty for All Occasions
The theme of this series is taking flight into an endless sky. Soft edges and gently curving pieces can elevate any space, giving it a simple & clean, sleek atmosphere.
TEN, the Japanese word for “sky,” describes the concept of a light, airy feel. The design, derived from aeronautical engineering, is expertly recreated by CondeHouse technicians in each piece. The Armchair, with a gently curving back available in select upholstery, draws in all who take a seat. The popular Extension Table is able to be extended to its full width with great ease, using internal, seamlessly hidden mechanisms, without requiring the user to lift the leg portions or remove a single piece.
Functional Design Without Waste
“A symbol of lightness, TEN evokes imagery of an airplane soaring through the sky. For the chair, I imitated the construction of an airplane’s frame covered by a thin material, using a combination of high-quality wood for the frame and thin ABS resin for the back piece,” Schneider says. This designer’s wide-ranging collection of work that prioritizes functionality without waste is renowned and valued throughout the world; TEN is his first project for the Japanese market.
The chair’s design of an ultra-slender back seamlessly extending into arms is something only resin material can do. Its characteristic elasticity cradles the body elegantly. Our wrinkle-free upholstery application technique fully makes use of delicate lines while also utilizing and showcasing the skills of our craftspeople.
An Ideal Balance of Soft & Sharp
Chair legs that extend straight down give a sharp, linear impression. Arms are smoothly sanded for a buttery soft feel. Ever so slight curves are given to the back and arm portion to naturally support the body. Careful consideration of user comfort was poured into the soft lines at key contact points.
The TEN Table showcases beautiful solid wood grain and luxury. The Extension Table’s function and light design allows for considerable length to be added without overwhelming the room, thanks to the slender tabletop construction, with a thickness of only 3/4 inch. The inconspicuous seam won’t be obvious to the user in either the extended or default form.
