The story of Easy Chair

One of Kenzo Tange's most significant furniture pieces is the lounge chair (T-7304KY-NT easy chair) made for the Sumi Memorial Hall in Aichi in 1957. Made from a single-cut sheet of plywood is folded on three major seams with bent armrests extending from the backrest.

Its iconic form has not changed in the many years of production and neither has its significance. The Easy Chair is not only beautifully designed, it's made with a thick semi-firm cushion that provides comfort for long sessions. It is commonly known as the Dakko-chan, or hug chair since the shape of the chair makes the sitter feel as if they are being hugged.

How to take care of your Easy Chair
In order to enjoy your beautiful Easy Chair for a long time, here are some important information about how to clean and keep it in a good condition.
Wooden legs
Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth for daily care. If it gets dirty, wipe it off with diluted neutral detergent and make sure to wipe it again with clean wet cloth so that no detergent remains. You can finish it with a soft dry cloth.
*Leaving it wet with water or using alcohol or thinner-based solvents may cause deterioration or discoloration.
Please be aware that using chemical cloth may cause deterioration of the surface.
Upholstered seat and back
Tap the surface lightly and vacuum to remove dust or brush with a soft brush.
If there is dirt, soak a soft cloth in diluted neutral detergent and wring it out thoroughly and tap to remove the dirt, then wipe off the detergent with a cloth soaked in clean warm water. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth and let it dry slowly and naturally.
Felt Pads
Felt furniture pads are recommended to protect your furniture and the flooring from scratches, dents, and other damage.
