The Story of Kabuto S
The Kabuto chair was created by Isamu Kenmochi, the designer who supported the dawn of Japanese design at Tendo Mokko, who had dared to challenge the realisation of moulded plywood with a three-dimensional curve. It was designed for a clubhouse of the Totsuka Country Club in 1961.
The backrest is curved so as to go around the sitting person’s body, and you can leave your weight as an armrest. In addition, there is a good bend, firmly supports the waist and supports the body. As it is very comfortable, it is often used in Japanese lobbies and restaurants.
It also comes in dining chairs.
Available exclusively at CIBI Design Store in Australia.
Story about Isamu Kenmochi
Isamu Kenmochi (1912 -1971) was born in Tokyo. He was a Japanese modernist industrial designer. Isamu embraced the Western chair as part of his move to create what he called Japanese Modern furniture. In 1952, he formed the Japan Industrial Designers Association with Riki Watanabe and Sori Yanagi. In 1964, his representative work, a lounge chair, was selected for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
