Shinra Lounge Chair

The Shinra lounge chair is made of solid Japanese cedar with a polyurethane finish. A single tree rooted in the earth forms a forest through a chain of trees. “Shinra” was created by sawing small trees that inhabit the forest and carving out the accumulated mass. When placed in a space, the fragrance of the forest fills the air. Please feel the connection and oneness with the forest by touching and sitting on the bark of the tree.

The Shinra series was designed by Atsuhiko Misawa. Atsuhiko Misawa, one of the leading sculptors in Japan, has been working on his signature series “Animals” since 2000. Using camphor wood, he carves life-size figures of various animals and paints them, giving his wood sculptures an overwhelming presence that has captured the hearts of a wide range of viewers. His motifs range from familiar animals to imaginary creatures, and he continues to pursue a unique reality that differs from realism.
