R+R Chair

Makoto Koizumi for Miyazaki Chair Factory

• Introduction

  I am an R+R Chair. Rest and Restore! Read and Relax! Rock and Roll! The R’s are up to you with me in support. 

   

• Curator's Notes 

   

  If you whittled a chair down to just its essence, I believe you’d arrive at something not far from Makoto Koizumi’s design for the R+R Chair. The simplicity of the structure presents as a series of straight lines, but as you draw nearer, you marvel over all of the details that keep the chair from feeling cold in its starkness. A series of gentle curves soften the edges, the natural grain of the wood provides a delicate pattern, and the leather seat adds classic warmth. Its slim profile creates a sense of space that’s perfect for apartments or smaller spaces. Crafted by highly skilled specialists in the art of furniture-making, the chair’s joinery is seamless and its body is solid. I love how the chair looks at once modern and traditional, refined, yet charming. Hard to believe that this was Koizumi-san's very first design for Miyazaki Chair Factory!
