Story
From indoor chair to open-air family
Torii Nest was first designed for interiors in 2020 and then carried outdoors, where it became a whole family of seats. The pieces use structural details linked to Japanese tradition, rounded edges and thin profiles.
An enveloping nest backrest
The backrest takes the form of a nest that wraps around the cushions. Cord mesh over a steel frame gives the armchair an ethereal look, and the seat adds the tactile contrast of natural teak or Dark Brown mahogany.
