Conde House is delighted to present KAMUY collection, a new classic realized in collaboration with Naoto Fukasawa. Asahikawa is famous as a wood furniture producing district in Japan and KAMUY collection came to fruition by a unique fusion of its local wood crafting technology and Fukasawa’s artistic forming skills. The simple and well-made design of KAMUY, naturally harmonises with any type of environments. KAMUY, the most chair-like chair, offers the feeling of déjà vu.
This is the fruit of the designer's desires and our craftsmanship responding to them. Every important point of the main frame is shaped edgy; the beams between the legs are very slightly tapered; the shape of the wooden seat is curved out based on 3D data. These small tricks make the chair look sharp from any angle. The chair looks so normal and beautiful.
