Torii is a simple yet subtly sophisticated wood chair, defined
by its closely spaced back legs, broad seat, and small
arched backrest. Its minimal appearance and simple
construction hide a surprising amount of comfort and
sturdiness, making it suitable for residential and commercial
use. Torii is the Japanese name for the characteristic wood
entrance arches to Shinto shrines in Japan, and translates
directly into English as “bird perch”. This motif perfectly
describes the chairs distinct proportions and traditional
joinery, and the sense of harmony and calm inherent in
design that is beautifully resolved.
Torii is available in White Oak, Black stained Ash, and
Walnut, with leather or fabric upholstered seat. Black
stained Ash version also available with a plywood seat.
