the class-o-matic

at this year's 100% design tokyo, next maruni presented new furniture in a joint
exhibition between maruni wood industry inc. and maysa co., ltd., entitled
'nextmaruni + HA-RU mono'.

included in the exhibition was an armless chair designed by kazuyo sejima and
ryue nishizawa of SANAA.

the duo first designed a similar chair back in 2005. now nextmurani has released
the chair in a wider version. the design consists of free asymmetric 'ears' which act
as the back of the chair. it is made from translucent white beechwood, which speaks
to the chair's minimalist design.
