The HidaHida Chair, created through a collaboration between architect Kengo Kuma and Swedish brand Gärsnäs, integrates Japanese and Scandinavian design principles. Inspired by the Japanese word for 'drape'—hida—the chair showcases tailored upholstery that mirrors haute couture's artistry. Kuma has a long-standing admiration for Åke Axelsson's work, whose designs emphasize lightness and craftsmanship. This partnership reflects their shared respect for materials and artisanal techniques, resulting in a unique piece that merges structure with softness, illustrating a refined balance of elegance in everyday living.
The HidaHida Chair exemplifies a dialogue between Japanese and Scandinavian design, merging craftsmanship and materiality into a singularly elegant expression of comfort and style.
Kengo Kuma's admiration for lightness and ingenuity in Åke Axelsson's designs led to a collaboration that transcends mere furniture-making to embrace a holistic approach to living.
