Japanese designer Shin Azumi recycled remnants from wood production to
create the Nara Coat Stand.
A sculptural expression of a functional object intended to capture the beauty of
solid timbre in a simple wooden structure. With a symbolic wink to deer antlers,
as referenced by the name Nara, Japan’s historical capital city known for its
free roaming deer.
Launched in 1998, the Gallery Stool marked a major breakthrough that pushed
the parameters of moulded plywood to the limit. It’s a simple sculpture that
doubles as a stool, where emphasis is on the simple curves that convey a
sense of completeness.
Sweeping diagonal lines with softened cut-outs and curves echo Jens Risom’s
penchant for practicality in this functional magazine table with a striking,
sculptural silhouette, ideal for any contemporary setting from hotels to private
homes. An iconic design from 1949 that appeared in the first comprehensive
catalogue from Risom with the slogan “Furniture with a signature."
