The Japanese designer so willed tells the collection Substance "I decided to undertake the project of a chair whose legs are a simple cross of two" U ", on which I then wanted to put on a simple body.

The unique mixture of curved as the legs and the lower part of the body bent give this chair a sensation friendly. it is normal to have a chair with legs that are an extension of the body, while in Substance these details curved create a cool character. I think we were able to create a chair sustainable
