tokyo chair
Design Niels Bendtsen, 2014
Ash, oak or walnut, leather seat
Made in Italy by Bensen
Solid wood with a removable saddle leather seat, the Tokyo chair nods to traditional Danish and Japanese designs while maintaining an active footing in the present.
A continuous ribbon of shaped solid wood creates the distinctive back and connects to the legs with traditional mortise and tenon construction. The finish is an advanced low build water-based polyurethane that gives the wood a natural open-grain appearance which is both smooth to touch yet very durable. The saddle leather seat is expertly cut, sewn and applied to a multi-layered seat structure to ensure a perfect fit for many years to come.

Niels Bendtsen
Bendtsen gained valuable skills and a respect for hand-built traditions as an apprentice, and was intrigued by new technologies. Between 1963 and 1972, Bendtsen had his own retail store where he sold imported Scandinavian designs. He designed small items for the store, but it wasn't until he was in his early thirties that he truly began designing furniture.
The Bensen philosophy balances simplicity and honesty. Designer Niels Bendtsen trained as an apprentice with his father building Scandinavian furniture and gained skills & respect for hand built traditions.
