About the Item

Originally designed in 1964 by legendary Japanese designer Isamu Kenmochi, the No.80 Chair stands as one of the most important examples of postwar Japanese modern furniture design. This timeless chair has been faithfully reissued using the original molds and traditional bentwood techniques developed by the historic Japanese manufacturer Akita Mokko, a company internationally recognized for its mastery of curved wood craftsmanship. The chair's elegant silhouette combines soft organic curves with exceptional structural lightness, creating a refined balance between functionality and sculptural beauty. Its flowing bentwood frame demonstrates the sophistication of Japanese craftsmanship while maintaining a quiet, understated presence suited to contemporary interiors. Unlike conventional dining chairs, the No.80 possesses a collectible quality often associated with architectural and gallery-worthy furniture. The chair naturally complements Japandi, mid-century modern, wabi-sabi, and minimalist interiors, while also functioning beautifully within hospitality spaces, boutique hotels, restaurants, and curated commercial environments. Each piece is handcrafted in Japan by skilled artisans, preserving the legacy of Japanese modernism through meticulous attention to proportion, comfort, and detail. The No.80 Chair is not simply seating, but a timeless expression of Japanese design culture crafted to be lived with, appreciated, and passed on for generations. Why It Matters • Original 1964 design by Isamu Kenmochi • Authorized reissue by Akita Mokko • Manufactured to order in Japan • Produced using the original molds • Traditional Japanese bentwood construction • Made from carefully selected Japanese beech wood Following its discontinuation in 1991, the design has been faithfully reintroduced by Akita Mokko using the same manufacturing methods and traditional bentwood techniques developed for the original production. About Isamu Kenmochi • Isamu Kenmochi (1912–1971) is widely regarded as one of the founders of Japanese industrial design. • He worked alongside influential figures including Bruno Taut, Isamu Noguchi, Kenzo Tange, and Charles & Ray Eames, helping shape what became known as Japanese Modernism. • A founding member of the Japan Industrial Designers' Association (JIDA), Kenmochi sought to unite traditional • Japanese craftsmanship with modern international design principles. • His celebrated Rattan Chair was later acquired for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. • Today, the No.80 Chair remains one of the clearest expressions of Kenmochi's design philosophy: elegant, functional, and distinctly Japanese. Size: W630 × D555 × H725 mm Seat Height: 450 mm Arm Height: 633 mm Product Weight: 6.4 kg Finishes: • Black Frame (Black Stain Finish)× White Upholstery (95% Polyester, 5% Cotton) Material: Japanese Beech wood
