The award was unanimously decided based on opinions such as "straight lines, clean, beautiful and simple" and "ordinary but with good details." This was the only chair to win the award, with other designs dominating the top spots.
"This piece is close to the shape of a typical chair and has a simple, pure appearance that expresses the essence of a chair. I think it is a worthy piece of work that pays tribute to the value of wood." (Anne Louise Sommer)
"The Flatchair is all about minimizing our impact on the environment," says Tucker Wiemeister.
"The simple 'Flat Chair' is a work of exquisite craftsmanship that expresses structural beauty very well." (Michael Young)
By sandwiching molded plywood, which is highly stable, flatly between solid wood, which allows for sharp lines and fine joint processing, we have created a comfortable chair that does not feel strange when sitting on it.
The clear structure, which deliberately exposes the joints where the molded plywood and solid wood meet, elevates the design. The most important thing in chair design is comfort, and we believe that the form should be born from function. We aimed to design a chair that does not sacrifice comfort, using the smallest elements that make up a "chair."
"EZOASH" is a species of wood from Hokkaido that is used in WOW furniture. It grows in the harsh winter weather, develops beautiful grain over the years, and is highly durable. The more you use it, the deeper it becomes, bringing individuality to your furniture.
Veneer, thinly sliced natural wood, allows you to feel the warmth of wood even when it is not a solid piece of wood. It allows us to use limited wood carefully, making it possible to create sustainable furniture.
The polishing process determines the quality of the finished product. Large surfaces are polished by machine, but the craftsman's senses are relied upon to check the fine details and the finish. Each piece is carefully polished by sight, touch, and sound.
