Miyazaki Chair Factory
The Pepe Side Chair is part of the well-established Pepe collection by Miyazaki Chair Factory. Its uniqueness comes from the design of the joints: the frame gently shifts from a round profile at the legs and backrest to a rounded-edged square where it meets the seat rail. This technique is typical of Miyazaki Chair Factory and is what makes the chair so comfortable to sit in and pleasant to touch.
The legs taper and splay slightly outward, giving the chair a light, balanced stance without compromising strength. The backrest is gently curved to support a relaxed sitting posture, and its slim profile allows the chair to slide easily underneath a table when not in use. Despite its refined, slender frame, the Pepe Side Chair is strong and durable enough for daily use over many years. It is a chair that suits any age or gender, and one that people continue to appreciate the longer they own it.
The seat comes upholstered in a deep charcoal-brown fabric, while the frame is available in solid wood. Also available as the Pepe Armchair, offering the same design language with added width and armrests for a more relaxed seat.
