About This Piece

Vintage Design

"Teiza Isu" chair, created in 1960 to represent Japan during the Milan Triennale. This emblematic piece is often attributed to Daisaku Choh, then a member of the agency of Junzo Sakakura, a central figure of Japanese modernism. Inspired by Sakakura's "Bamboo Chair", it illustrates the dialogue between tradition and innovation which characterizes post-war Japanese design.

The Teiza chair is distinguished by its large backrest and wide seat, both made of curved teak plywood and filled with thick cushions. These elements are supported by a low sled-shaped frame allowing optimal weight distribution without damaging the tatami mats. Higher than its bamboo model, it adapts equally well to Japanese and Western interiors.

The design of the Teiza, both practical and aesthetically refined, embodies the spirit of Japanese architecture and furniture of the time, where functionality blends harmoniously with beauty.

The old Tendo Mokko label bears witness to this early edition.

Edition: Tendo Mokko, Japan, from 1960.
