The Ariake chair beautifully combines Japanese and Scandinavian esthetics: the slightly curved backrest, pole-like legs and a crossed support structure add a touch of Japanese harmony and softness to the otherwise simple form typical of Scandinavian furniture. The natural shades and different seat options make Ariake, designed by Gabriel Tan, suitable for any interior.
