Japanese Solid Wood Furniture | The Tactile Feel of Thickness and Rounded Corners

A Japanese-made solid wood armchair: all wooden components have undergone extremely long sanding, with cross-sections gradually transitioning from square to round, and corner radii large enough that gripping with the entire palm feels smooth without any sharp edges. This tactile quality is achieved by repeated hand-finishing, which machines cannot replicate. The seat is a removable fabric cushion, the fabric being a low-chroma textile. The wood is Japanese beech or North American black walnut, oil-finished. The overall proportions of the chair are substantial yet not bulky, with a low center of gravity. Next to it, a craftsman is touching the surface to confirm its quality. Soft natural light, warm tones. Avoid: retaining square corners in cross-sections, insufficient sanding leaving machine marks, fixed non-removable seat cushions, slender proportions.

一張日本製的實木扶手椅:所有的木構件都經過極長時間的砂磨,斷面從方漸變成圓,轉角的半徑大到用手掌整個握住都不覺得有稜。這種手感是靠人手一遍遍摸出來的,機器做不到。座面是可拆的布墊,布是低彩度的織品。木材是日本櫸木或北美黑胡桃,表面上油。整張椅子的比例厚實而不笨重,重心低。旁邊有一位師傅正用手摸過表面確認。柔和的自然光,溫暖色調。避免:斷面保留方角、砂磨不足留有機器痕跡、座墊固定不可拆、比例做得纖細。
