Amazing! That’s how I appreciate this Chord Chair made by collaborating with Hiroshima Prefecture manufacturer Maruni Wood Industry. Why amazing? It’s because this chair look like a usual ordinary chair but what looks unusual is that this chair has legs only 15 mm in diameter. Rather than assembling wood panel around 9mm steel frame, Nendo and others decided to hollow out pieces of wood to clad each of the frame. Since each part is only 3 mm wide, the chair must be made by hand. It liberates wood from structure, allowing the material’s natural warmth and softness to come into sharp focus, and bringing out its greatest common denominator. This is definitely a beautiful combination between materials like the metal wiring within an electrical cord and the rubber that encases it.
