Introducing the Atsu Dining Chair, a striking minimalistic design inspired by traditional Chinese chairs and meticulously crafted from FSC-certified American Red Oak. Handmade by skilled craftsmen, each piece of the Atsu Chair ensures flawless execution with seamless connections between each component, exuding a minimal and clean aesthetic. The Atsu’s asymmetrical structure serves as a sculptural statement, using massive oak planks forming one front leg and the centre backrest. This intentional design choice disrupts conventional viewpoints and challenges the observer to engage with the chair in a dynamic way. To truly appreciate its form, you are encouraged to move around the piece, exploring its unique characteristics much like you would move around a sculpture or an art piece. While the chair features a thick, voluminous presence, it maintains a refined minimal aesthetic. The name ”Atsu,” derived from the Japanese word meaning ”heavy” or ”strong,” perfectly embodies its visual weight and sense of balance, creating a harmonious blend of heft and lightness.
