Product Features

The concept is to create a chair that supports the spine while keeping the person sitting in a straight position. It is suitable for players of musical instruments such as cello, violin, flute, and guitar. The bold idea of ​​reducing the seat surface to half has resulted in a highly original design.

"The seating was comfortable and I was able to play comfortably. Since I sit forward while playing, it was reasonable that the chair had only half the seat surface. I don't have to worry about the sides (edges) even when I spread my legs apart. It's also nice that I can use the backrest when I'm resting. You can't do this with a normal chair." (Male cellist)

In classical music, "Op.2" means "second work," but the first work, "Op.1," was designed by Jeong Woo-jin and won the Gold Leaf Award at the IFDA (International Furniture Design Competition Asahikawa). It was later commercialized by WOW and won the Good Design Award in 2013.

The size, shape, and seating of the "Op.2" chair are slightly different from the previous "Op.1" chair, giving it a slightly different feel. The chair is made of EZOASH (Tamo ash from Hokkaido), oak, or walnut. All of the chairs are made of natural wood that is over 100 years old.

Veneer plywood that makes the most of limited wood

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.

Polishing relies on the craftsman's sense
STEP 03

Polishing relies on the craftsman's sense

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.
