SUWARI

SUWARI is a chair lineup collaboratively developed by Hida Sangyo and designer Kenya Hara, designed to fit comfortably within Japanese spaces. The name “SUWARI” itself means “sitting.”

Japanese spaces—whether traditional rooms or contemporary architecture—are composed of vertical and horizontal rhythms. When chairs with free-flowing curves or substantial volume are placed in these settings, spaces tend to feel constrained.

SUWARI keeps structural elements to a minimum, emphasizing vertical flow with a deliberately slender design. This approach allows the chairs to blend seamlessly with both traditional Japanese and modern architectural spaces, creating a refined presence. With a leg structure that minimizes impact on wood, tatami, or carpet floors, this furniture transforms the act of sitting into a comfortable, visually pleasing experience.
