Black is a colour with many connotations, and it can awaken many different and contradictory feelings in us. It is associated with elegance and sophistication.
This colour also has a certain magical, mysterious element to it.
This ancient Japanese technique, consists of charring the outer layer of the wood, which turns it a dark colour and makes it more durable. The heating process protects it from fungi or microorganisms and harsh weather conditions.
The more it is charred, the blacker the yakisugi timber becomes.
Here in this chair, I have tried to merge the Japanese ideology with the Indian elements of nature. The chair is made up of three separate parts supporting the head, back and torso. Each part could be adjusted accordingly helping the user attain the most comfortable and suitable posture.
These three parts of the chair are connected with hinges made with anodized steel which adjusts according to the pressure levied on them.
The base material is charred timber and for upholstery, I have used lush green suede.
