Keep ShoppingUU Chair
Design by:Koizumi Makoto
Brand:
Miyazaki Chair Factory
The UU chair is named after its design, which consists of two gently curved U-shaped frames stacked on top of each other, one 'U' flowing into the back legs and the other 'U' into the front. The UU chair is the successor to the U chair, which consists only of a U-shaped back.
The chair looks voluminous from the front, but from the side, it has a slender, delicate form that does not give the impression of being heavy. Thanks to the angled backrest, great comfort can be enjoyed, cut at an angle to increase the cross-sectional area so that it does not feel stiff when you lean against it. The arms and front legs are joined with finger joints to create strength. The angled joints have a significantly rounded edge to avoid feeling angled when the arms are placed on them.
