The N01
The N01™ chair fuses Danish and Japanese design in
nine layers of pressure moulded veneer and solid wood legs. Millimetre by
millimetre, the design is an illustration of beauty and functionality.

Oki Sato |
Oki Sato - founder of nendo design studio - expresses
his design philosophy not only with the N01™ chair but through graphics, art
installations and architecture. He was born in Toronto, Canada and later moved
to Tokyo, where he took a M.A. in Architecture at Waseda University. In 2002,
he founded the nendo studio and today nendo have their name on both
architectural projects as well as grand furniture designs worldwide. nendo's
philosophy states that, in the same way that life is full of little "!"
moments - or moments of surprise and richness - so are their designs.
"Nendo" means 'modelling clay' in Japanese - a term perfectly suited
to the studio’s sculptural approach to design no matter the material. For their
work, nendo has been awarded with Dezeen, Wallpaper and Red Rot Design Awards
among many more throughout the studio's lifetime. |
