This is the Crescent Chair, a best-selling and representative product of Hida Sangyo. It boasts an exceptional level of comfort, often described as a chair you "don't want to get up from."
Despite having a wooden seat, it surprisingly doesn't feel hard when you sit on it. The seat's angle and the three-dimensional carving process, combined with meticulous polishing by skilled craftsmen, create a comfortable seating experience. Furthermore, the paint has a non-slip finish, preventing your bottom from sliding forward and allowing you to maintain correct posture.
The backrest is also an important part that supports the body, and it utilizes "bentwood," a craftsmanship technique that Hida Sangyo proudly presents to the world. Bentwood is a material made by softening wood by steaming it, then fitting it into a curved shape and fixing it in place, and then drying it to form a curved surface. A backrest made with bentwood fits snugly to your back, allowing you to experience the comfort of being enveloped by the chair.
The legs are made using lathe turning and bent wood techniques, making them sturdy despite their slender appearance due to the consistent wood grain. The legs spread outwards towards the seat, creating a stable structure.
