Design by:Gabriel Tan

Ariake
The Koi chair is a dining armchair designed by Gabriel Tan. The chair features a generous backrest, with organic armrests shaped like the curved body of a Japanese carp, hence its name. The designer’s vision is a solid wood dining chair that is extremely comfortable, one that showcases the craftsmanship of Ariake and being suitable as both a dining chair and home office chair, as our homes and workspaces have evolved to become more hybridized today.

About Ariake
Ariake
Founded by the Legnatec and Hirata Chair workshops in the furniture-making town of Morodomi, Saga, Ariake takes its name from the nearby Ariake Sea - and from the Japanese word for daybreak. The brand pairs Japanese craftsmanship with leading international designers including Gabriel Tan, Keiji Ashizawa, Norm Architects and Anderssen & Voll.
The result is a collection that balances handwork with precise machining, made from oak, ash, hinoki and cedar with signature finishes like sumi and indigo - from dining chairs and benches to desks, shelving and cabinetry. Explore the Ariake collection at APATO, Australia's home of authentic Japanese designer furniture, and enquire for finishes, lead times and trade pricing.
