Shirakawa's "Waso" series combines traditional Japanese beauty with modern design. Based on the idea that "nature is what brings peace and revitalizes life," Waso furniture is made from carefully selected red oak. The skilled craftsmanship and aesthetic sense of the artisans bring out the warmth and strength of the wood, resulting in a dignified design.
The living and dining room is the center of the house. Not only for meals, but also for other times of the day, it is a place where families naturally gather. WASO chair is a dining room chair that combines elegance and functional beauty to color such an idealized space. The stoic design, which is similar to wabi-sabi (wabi-sabi), stripped of unnecessary decorations, expresses a free beauty that is not bound by time or place, and has a universal appeal.
The flow of grain and the natural curvature of backrest are the result of the mastery of craftsmanship. Not only does it look great, but it's comfortable and fits well. You won't get tired from sitting for long periods of time, and the moderate firmness of backrest supports your lower back and keeps you straight.
Chair seat is lavishly made with carefully selected solid wood, and the beautiful grain emerges. The way the different sizes of wood are meticulously connected is now a work of art. But it's not just for looks. As a chair that can be used not only at the dining table, but also at study and work desks, it is designed to be comfortable and has a natural curve that prevents fatigue even after sitting for a long time. The craftsmanship shines through in the design, which brings out the appeal of the materials and combines functionality and design.
The rear legs are a single piece of wood that flows from backrest and runs parallel. This is the most attractive feature of WASO chair. Unlike the back legs, the front legs are tapered to create a sense of weight and lightness. Each piece of grain has a distinct expression, and it can be said that it is a natural artform. The one-of-a-kind designs, each with a different expression, create even more attachment.
