Details
KAGU - Minimalism meets craftsmanship. Harmonious lines, precise geometries and pared back material usage give the chair an air of lightness, yet also robustness. The slender wooden legs, connected by a central stabilising wooden cross, provide the architecture for the high-padded seat shell, which swings freely in the frame. Under-seat suspension enhances user comfort and adds movement. The wooden legs, which extend up into the armrests, are organically integrated into the upholstered seat shell. Its design is a tribute to clarity.
The Jury‘s Statement
A consistent focus on essentials defines »Kagu« and lends the chair its distinctive lightness. Clear lines meet a subtly considered construction, where the central wooden cross and floating seat interact harmoniously. The interplay of aesthetic elegance, functionality and impressive seating comfort makes this piece of furniture stand out among the awarded projects.
