The chair's backrest is made using the traditional Hida technique of "ippon-mageki" (single-piece bentwood), resulting in a sturdy yet flexible structure with a beautiful wood grain. The seat is also carved for a comfortable seating experience. Furthermore, its tall back provides support up to the shoulders.
The top rail is made from a single bent piece of wood, a technique unique to Hida Sangyo, and its consistent grain makes it very durable. Additionally, the slightly upright angle of the backrest provides excellent support for the entire back when seated.
The legs are sleek and streamlined, with no protrusions. The shape of the legs, which spread out in four directions, provides exceptional stability when seated.
The seat's angle and three-dimensional shape are achieved through a special "seat carving" process, and it is meticulously polished by skilled craftsmen to 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.
Prescelto, meaning "chosen" in Italian, is the name of this chair. The chair features a thicker-than-usual seat, eliminating the need for legs and resulting in a simple, streamlined design. The sofa's back cushions vary in thickness and softness between the top and bottom sections; the softer upper cushion gently supports the body, while the lower cushion provides lumbar support for optimal comfort.
This simple series exudes the warmth of wood.
