About the Item

A dining chair designed by Isamu Kenmochi and produced by Akita Mokko, a Japanese workshop renowned for its over 100-year tradition of bentwood craftsmanship. The design is marked by a tall, elegant backrest with finely curved vertical spokes, showcasing the refinement of Japanese woodworking. The warm wooden frame and subtle curvature create a sense of balance — simultaneously structural and graceful. This chair exemplifies Kenmochi’s approach to modern Japanese design: functional, minimal, yet deeply connected to material and craft tradition. The piece remains in very good vintage condition, showing only minor wear consistent with age and careful use. *Price is listed per chair.
