Obi Chair with Arms

Yukihiro Yamaguchi

The kimono is a traditional garment, and the “Obi”—the kimono sash—is its most important and beautiful component. The selection of fabric, the vibrant dyeing, the delicate embroidery, and the tying methods indicate the occasion, demonstrating care for others and offering insight into this unique culture. The sash that embraces the structure and the ropes in the Obi line provide the experience of sitting comfortably in a light and slender piece. Aluminum structure, Cumaru or Sucupira wood seat, nautical rope backrest, and mesh detail on the backrest.
