SAKEMI ISU - MONACA STOOL

Sakemi Isu - Inspired by the Japanese traditional confectionery "Monaka," known for its round and plump appearance and delicated soft texture, MONACA Stool conveys the beauty and gentle ambiance of Japanese aesthetics. The stool inherits this warm aesthetic to come into existence.

The seat design showcases six classic Japanese floral motifs, each symbolizing the ever-changing seasons - peach blossoms (momo桃), plum blossoms(ume梅), camellias(tsubaki山茶), cherry blossoms(sakura櫻), bellflowers(kikyo桔梗), and chrysanthemums(kiku菊). Drawing inspiration from the profound emotions ancient and medieval people held towards flowers - admiring their beauty and feeling moved by their withering, often expressing these sentiments through poetry. These six beloved flowers in Japan throughout history transform into a resplendent image of "six flowers," presenting a delicate and colorful charm of the four seasons.

Crafted from a special textile boasting the unique texture of "Chirimen," a fabric rooted in traditional Japanese craftsmanship and originally woven with silk, frequently adorning kimonos and the armrest pillows of ancient warriors, symbolizing grace and nobility.

While traditional Chirimen isn't ideally suited for chair cushion fabric, to achieve the desired texture, Sakemi Isu collaborated with fabric suppliers to develop a dedicated seat fabric that encapsulates the essence and feel of Chirimen while ensuring durability and practicality.

MONACA Stool embodies the elegant fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern design, paying deep respect to the traditional Japanese culture
