Long before it became a chair, this piece lived as a tree––rooted in the forests of southern Japan, shaped by weather, and marked by a hundred years of growth. The Century Chair, designed by Satoshi Itasaka of the design labo, carries that story into the present, carved from a single block of solid wood so its history remains visible in every line and ring. At a time when most things are made fast and disposable, this chair stands as a reminder of what real materials can hold: a story, a soul, and a tangible piece of time that can’t be replicated.
