Tako Armchair, Walnut

Tako Armchair is characterized by a particular curvature of the backrest and armrests of the chair, as well as of the legs of the table, reminiscent of the profile of an octopus.

The collection of solid wood chairs and tables designed by Naoto Fukasawa, whose name is a Japanese word meaning octopus, is characterized by a particular curvature of the backrest and armrests of the chair, as well as of the legs of the table, reminiscent of the profile of an octopus.

The collection perfectly represents Maruni “Industrialized Craftsmanship” motto as it was realized through cutting techniques using CNC machines, originally possible only by hand, but the technological application studied by Maruni, allows the complex shape mass producible.

Product description
“Now, there are certain shapes that have become feasible to be created, because of application of highly developed processing techniques of cutting out solid wood, by using a CNC machine. It was difficult to manufacture a wooden chair by working in all the three dimensions together, for a long time. I wanted to implement a three-dimensional free-form curve into a mass producible wooden chair, but not by using the traditional wood bending techniques. This chair can showcase the shape, which was earlier only possible by handcrafting it piece by piece, in solid wood. A chair that goes well with a glass of wine or a white tablecloth, is something that first came to my mind! The chair has turned out into a form like that of an octopus, so I named it “Tako”.
