FUU #1 - Contemporary Chair in Wood and Urushi Lacquer

FUU #1 is a one-of-a-kind chair handmade from Japanese cedar and Douglas fir, finished with multiple traditional Japanese urushi lacquer techniques. The chair combines Kōrin-jō Tsūya Shuai Urushi, Nuritate-jō Honkuro Urushi and Togidashi-jō Kuroroiro Urushi, creating contrasting levels of sheen, depth and surface. The exposed timber remains visible alongside the highly finished lacquer, bringing together the warmth and familiarity of wood with the refinement and intensity of urushi. FUU #1 sits between functional furniture and sculpture, inviting physical use while making the material, craftsmanship and process central to the experience of the chair. This piece is made to order. Limited Edition & Handmade Variation FUU is produced as a limited edition, with each chair individually handmade. Subtle variations in form, surface, colour and finish will occur between pieces as a result of the making process and the character of the materials. Each chair is therefore one-of-a-kind, with its own particular qualities and trace of its making. Urushi & Care Urushi is a natural material whose surface can subtly change over time. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may affect the colour and depth of the finish. This natural evolution is part of the character and beauty of urushi, allowing the surface to develop over time. Care: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
