Pair of Japanese Sculptural Pleated Chairs by Chishen Chiu, Early 21st Century

$2,600.00

Ingenious in design and material, these accent chairs were created by Chishen Chiu in the early 2000s. Handcrafted from 100% recycled materials, each chair is composed of layered paper encased by solid wood sides with integrated handles for easy mobility.

A clever accordion-like honeycomb structure allows them to expand and contract effortlessly, while their pleated form creates a visual rhythm, transforming simple paper into sculptural, functional art. The design is compact enough to flat-pack, yet capable of expanding to three feet in width.
