Dining is a place where families gather many times to enjoy meals and conversation. Chairs, in particular, are important not only for their appearance but also for their comfort, and are furniture that should be chosen with care. Also, since it always catches the attention of customers, the design is also a concern. This is the "Rin Chair" from Shirakawa Co. This monopod is simple in design, yet attractive with distinctive details that make it eye-catching. We also have a wide selection of wood species and upholstery. The creator, Shirakawa Co., Ltd., was founded in Hida Takayama, one of Japan's leading furniture production areas. The lineup is a long-established company that started a sawmill in 1960 and a furniture manufacturing business in 1971, and knows everything from materials to design and production.
Hida Furniture boasts the culture and tradition of wood-making, known as the "Takumi of Hida," and was involved in the construction of the capital in the Heijo and Heian periods. Please enjoy to your heart's content the sophisticated techniques unique to Hida Furniture, which has inherited the spirit of craftsmanship from ancient times to the present. Although it is a folk art furniture, its modern design is perfect for modern interiors. In line with the company's concept of "fusion of Japanese beauty and Japanese modernism," the company has a philosophy of "100-year modernity" that is still recognized as fresh 100 year's later.
Two types of materials. First of all, walnut has an attractive, heavy and chic feel, and it is finished in matte oil to take advantage of its texture. Another popular item is red oak, which is popular for its unique grain, such as the tiger-like pattern "silver grain" that rarely appears. All of the colors are calm and easy to balance with other furniture. It is heavy and has excellent impact resistance, and is useful not only for furnishings, but also as a flooring, building material, and interior decoration.
In addition to tree species of the main body, we also boast a rich lineup of chair seat upholstery. We are particular about the materials used, from cloth to suede-like high-grade artificial leather, to synthetic leather with its beautiful depth, and even genuine leather. There are also fabrics that can be dry cleaned, which is great for dining chairs that get dirty easily. Of course, it goes perfectly with the dining table of the same Rin series, and it is easy to match with your own table, creating a design that you will never get tired of.
