Introduction
I am a Teiza-isu Low Chair. I lower the room without asking you to sit on the floor, somewhere between a chair and the ground, but better than both.
- Curator's Notes
Designed by Daisaku Cho in the early 1960s while at Junzo Sakakura’s studio, the Teiza-isu sits low to the ground in a way that feels immediately natural. It leans more toward lounge seating, but with a clarity in form that keeps it from feeling casual.
We like it paired with a coffee table or low table. It creates a different kind of space, somewhere between sitting on the floor and sitting in a chair. You’re lower, more settled, and more inclined to stay.
The base is shaped to sit gently on tatami, spreading weight so it doesn’t leave marks. We love this kind of consideration that comes from designing for real interiors, not just for appearance. The bentwood construction is also worth noting. Tendo Mokko is known for this technique, shaping layers of wood into smooth, continuous curves that are both strong and refined.
