Motomi Kawakami 'Kisaragi' model KJ200/201 chair in Japanese cedar for Hida.
For centuries, famed Hida artisans in Gifu prefecture have played a role in Japan's woodworking culture, crafting iconic bentwood furniture from sustainable local forests. Established in 1920, Hida Sangyo builds upon the Japanese heritage of craftsmanship and sustainability from their headquarters in Gifu, which remains one of Japan's leading furniture production areas. In addition to offering iconic designs from midcentury masters like Sori Yanagi and Enzo Mari, Hida produces contemporary creations from international designers such as Atsuhiko Misawa and atelier oï.
Designed by Motomi Kawakami, the 'Kisaragi' is the first chair to use straight-grained Japanese Cedar wood. Meaning 'new regeneration of trees and plants' in Japanese, 'Kisaragi' represents the new methodology developed by Hida to compress and strengthen naturally soft cedar to make it as structurally suitable as it is beautiful. The dignified expression of the heathered grain combined with striking straight lines instantly enrich any space. Please note that the wood's grain, color and features vary from item to item due to the organic nature of the material.
