‘SHRINE’ CHAIR

The Torii Chair by Bensen is just as beautiful to look at as it is to sit in. The silhouette of the backrest is inspired by the traditional Shinto shrines of Japan. Torii is the Japanese name for the characteristic wooded entrance arches to Shinto shrines in Japan and translates directly into English as “bird perch”. This motif perfectly describes the chair’s distinct proportions and traditional joinery. It is a simple yet subtly sophisticated wooden chair, defined by its closely spaced back legs, broad seat, and small arched backrest. timwebberdesign. com
