No.202-R Beech Stool by Isamu Kenmochi
The No. 202 stool, designed by Isamu Kenmochi, is produced by Akita Mokko, Japan's oldest and only bentwood furniture manufacturer. It features a reissued rattan seat and a standard beech frame. The rattan-seat Kenmochi stool was produced from 1963 to 1987 and then discontinued. However, to commemorate its 60th anniversary, it has been reproduced using the original drawings and jigs, retaining its original silhouette. Since its founding in 1910, Akita Mokko has been the only company in Japan specializing in bentwood craftsmanship, building a history of over 100 years. The skilled artisans at the company place the components in a steamer, steam them, and then bend each piece by hand. Designed by Isamu Kenmochi, one of Japan's leading industrial designers, this stool has been a long-selling masterpiece, with over 1.25 million units produced since its introduction in 1958. The No. 202 stool is lightweight and easy to lift with one hand, making it easy to carry. The seat is wide and stable, providing a comfortable seating experience. The delicate beauty of the rattan weave on the seat is pleasing to the eye, while also providing a comfortable seating experience that conforms to the body. It is also stackable for easy storage; you can stack them and store them under a table when not in use. This design is unique to Kenmochi Isamu, taking into account the housing conditions in Japan. The beech wood used for the legs and frame has a natural color and beautiful fine grain, making it a standard specification suitable for mass production. Source: https://www.truss.jp/
