(Concept)
This chair features a structure designed for the interchangeability of elements, allowing it to remain the same shape while transforming into something entirely different. Traditionally, the value of handcrafted furniture lies in its completion as a final product, but this design redefines value by focusing on individual components. The armrests are finished using the rare piano lacquer technique by IYOBE, allowing you to feel the exceptional craftsmanship firsthand.

PARADOX LoungeChair IYB
About Chair
The question of whether an object remains the same when all of its component parts have been replaced. This is paradox that addresses the issue of identity. This chair embodies this paradox by featuring a structure designed for the interchangeability of elements, allowing it to maintain the same form while becoming something entirely different.
This piece presents the idea of materials as assets, existing in a form that perpetually remains incomplete, thereby redefining the value of objects from their completed state. Traditionally, the value of handcrafted furniture lies in its completion as a final product, but this design challenges that notion by assigning value to individual components.
The armrests are finished using the rare piano lacquer technique by IYOBE, allowing you to feel the exceptional craftsmanship firsthand.
