The collection is fully upholstered in richly textured bouclé in Deep Taupe, offering visual depth and tactile warmth. Each chair comprises two interlocking volumes, the backrest and seat, designed to appear distinct yet harmoniously unified. This subtle division creates an almost floating effect, lending lightness to the sculptural form.
'The Daiku Dining Chair's design highlights two interlocking volumes, the backrest and seat, crafted to appear distinct yet harmoniously unified. The subtle division between seat and backrest creates an almost floating effect, adding lightness to the sculptural form,' the company explained.
The geometric clarity of Daiku brings a refined architectural presence to any dining table, while its open, inviting shape encourages comfort and social connection during meals. Carefully layered foam and gently rounded edges balance structural precision with a soft tactile appeal.
Echoing this philosophy, the Daiku Lounge Chair mirrors the dining chair's interlocking design, encouraging multiple seating positions and relaxed conversation. According to 101 Copenhagen, 'The geometric, cube-like form creates a sculptural silhouette, while the open design invites multiple seating positions, encouraging relaxed conversation and social interaction.'
Minimised visible stitching enhances Daiku's monolithic expression, reinforcing a calm and minimalistic aesthetic. Fully upholstered in bouclé, the chairs merge architectural form with soft comfort, creating pieces that are as functional as they are visually compelling.
