Kanso

Kanso is a Japanese term that refers to simplicity, one of the seven principles of Zen aesthetics. This barstool design could be inspired by the Torii gate, a traditional Japanese architectural feature that marks the entrance to sacred spaces, often found at the boundary between the physical and spiritual world in Shinto shrines.

This barstool embodies the essence of Japanese design philosophy, combining simplicity with craftsmanship. The clean, minimalistic structure and thoughtful proportions reflect the concept of "Ma", which emphasizes the beauty found in spaces and form.

The barstool's silhouette, with its gently curved backrest and seamless integration of the back panel, highlights the balance between aesthetic restraint and comfort, a nod to the "Shibui" principle of understated elegance. The contrasting wood tones and organic materials align with the Japanese appreciation for natural textures and subtle imperfections.

Functionality is key here: the stool’s ergonomic design supports everyday use without compromising on visual appeal. It's not just a piece of furniture, but an experience of harmony between form, function, and materiality—central to the Japanese way of life.

Natural materials used for the construction of our furnishings will have variations in areas such as (but not limited to) color, pattern, grain, and texture. The hair-like strands of rattan/ rattan fiber is commonly observed due to natural rattan materials. Due to the many variations in monitors and browsers, the color of products may appear different on different screens.
