Using as thin wood materials as possible; not hiding structures but showing them as a part of design: these eliminations created the affluent appearance with the carefully selected wood grain and color contrast in wood between the base and upper frame.
The base frame is thin and colored darker, which makes the seat part look light and floating. The arm board is made of solid-wood pieces in different sizes to create individuality.
