At first glance it looks like a roomy chair, almost the size of a small settee. But its proportions and ergonomics come from something deeply familiar to Japan rather than Western lounge seating: the posture of sitting cross-legged on tatami. Toyoguchi even studied how weight spreads when seated on the ground by observing himself in snow, translating that relaxed way of sitting into a chair wide enough for one-and-a-half people. You can curl up, draw your legs in, or share the seat with a child, and it always feels natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rounded wooden spokes that frame the back create a sense of openness, while the molded plywood frame achieves a balance of lightness and strength—a hallmark of Toyoguchi’s work. It manages to feel generous without being bulky, a piece that never dominates a room but instead invites you in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI love how the Spoke Chair captures Toyoguchi’s vision of a modern Japanese lifestyle, bridging tatami living with new furniture forms. Upholstery can be customized whether in leather, water-resistant leather, twill, or other options—but the essence remains unchanged: a chair designed for comfort, connection, and the everyday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpoke Chair was curated by Stevenson Aung\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigner\/Maker \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaker: \u003c\/b\u003eTendo Mokko\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/b\u003e Katsuhei Toyoguchi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e31.9\" (w) x 27.1\" (l) x 32.7\" (h) or 810mm (w) x 687mm (l) x 830mm (h)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeat height: 13.4\" or 340mm  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003eApproximately 21 lb or 9.6kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/b\u003eOak wood, Fabric or Leather\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned by Katsuhei Toyoguchi\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrafted by Tendo Mokko, renowned for their precision woodworking and furniture-making  \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpacious seat allows flexible sitting positions like cross-legged, stretched out, and more\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstructed from an oval molded plywood base with attached spokes and legs\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures 13 slender spokes, casting rhythmic shadows and adding openness to any space\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eUpholstery can be customized with a variety of fabric grades, including leather, water-resistant leather, wool blends, and more.
